Summary
Scribe keyboards currently have no haptic feedback on key press. This is one of the most noticeable differences compared to the system keyboard and other third-party keyboards like Gboard and SwiftKey, which all provide tactile response on every keystroke.
Problem
Users switching from the system keyboard to a Scribe keyboard immediately notice the absence of haptic feedback. Since the keyboard is used hundreds of times daily, this gap has the highest surface area of any UX issue in the app.
Proposed Solution
Use Apple's native UIImpactFeedbackGenerator inside the existing keyTouchDown handler in KeyboardViewController:
| Key Type |
Feedback |
| Regular character keys |
Light impact |
Special keys (space, delete, return) |
Medium impact |
No new dependencies. Purely additive.
