--------------- ubuntu-keyboard (0.99.trunk.phablet2+14.04.20140407.1-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low [ Michael Sheldon ] * Gradually decreases the interval between word deletion when backspace is held down, allowing for fast deletion of large blocks of text (fixes bug #1289374). (LP: #1289374) * Reduce latency for key press sounds by switching to a SoundEffect element (lower latency and better at simultaneous sounds than Audio) and triggering the sound on key press rather than on release.
