DeleteWord – a new way to delete words in iOS

      DeleteWord is a tweak about I spoke 2 weeks ago when we were telling you that it allows us to delete whole words using the iOS keyboard. Normally, the deletion process starts with just a few words, but DeleteWord allows us to directly delete words using the keyboard's delete button, thus simplifying the process of deleting some phrases. Now the tweak has been updated and a new version of it is available in Cydia but with many improvements that the developer has worked on over time:

  • Holding the delete button now keeps intermittently deleting words
  • The delete button is modified when the delete word function is currently in use (by pressing shift).
  • Did not properly delete whitespace in the past. Fixed!
  • Added the ability to disable the tweak.
  • Added a settings page to:
    1- Enable/disable tweak
    2- Enable/disable delete button modification (since it may not look good on a custom keyboard)
    3- change from multitouch to sequential touch, which means you don't need two hands/fingers anymore

      Version 1.2 of Delete Word is available for free in Cydia in the BigBoss repo.
