I often use the sms style typing (for example in the Youtube plugin). With this style if you press 2 once it will be a, if you press 2 twice it will be b, if you press it 4 times it will be 2 etc etc. See below picture how the characters are divided over the keys.
In the past pressing 1 once would give a space, but since several months it gives a 1 first. As the space is more used than 1 would it be possible to reinstate the previous way (so pressing 1 once is a space and pressing it twice it will be 1)?
