Image View
iKKGon is a plain text editor. The photograph in a device can be displayed
on a text. If URL of a photograph is in a text, the picture will be displayed
on a text. The size of the picture on a text is decided by the number of
the line feed codes following URL and a file name. However, the position
of a picture and renewal of a size are performed only to timing, such as
change of direction of a screen, and re-reading.
The full screen display when you tap the image. When the image is pasted plurality, you can switch swipe up and down.
Even if you share your photos with a photo stream, URL of the picture is
different for each device. Therefore, photo pasted on another device does
not display the image.
When you mail the text to paste the image, image file is attached. The
image displays in a reception place differ by e-mail software (OS). In
Mail of iOS, a file name and a square blank are displayed on the position
on which the picture was stuck, and a picture continues after the text.

you paste the image, the image will be displayed again after the body. It
is similar to the iOS in Gmail.
You can attach the image is also on Twitter(-tw).
Cut-copy-paste of the image is possible. You can exchange the image with
other apps.
When you cut/copy the image, place the cursor on the line where the image
is being displayed, please tap the Cut/Copy key.

When you want to paste the image into the text, and then shrink the image
side length is greater than 1024 pixels.

Character(s)+Space=Text Expansion
When you tap a key of "t" and the space at the same time, "the " is input.
"Space" is the last letter, and the trigger of the Text Expansion.
So, you can input a word in one action by Multi-Touch of keys including
"Space".
S+T+Return=T+S
When you tap a key of "t" and "s" at the same time, "st" is input according to the Priority of the letter above.
You can input "ts" by adding "Return" with "t"
and "s".
S+T+BS=T+S+Space
"BS" reverses the Priority of the letter and adds a "Space".
Therefore, when you tap a key of "t", "s" and "BS"
at the same time, "this " is input. Because "ts" is
registered as "this" on the Dictionary of Shortened Words(sw.txt).
T+BS=T+T+Space
When you tap a key of "t" and "BS", "tt "
is input, and then is converted to "that ". "t" and
"Return" make "tt".
T+fyv=fyv+T=F
"fyv" is the first key. When you tap a key of "t" and
"fyv", "f" is input.
T+S+fyv=F+S
"t","s" and "fyv" make "fs". The
effect of "fyv" does not continue.
Slow Tapping
Typing is faster as used on iKKGon, because of very simple movement of
the finger. That's good in the input performance of the keyboard. But it's
not so good for your hands' health. The finger moving fast receives a big
shock on tapping. Instead of 2 taps, 1 tap of 2 keys allows slow movement
of the finger without lowering the input efficiency.
I recommend Slow Tapping for your hands' health.
