Like others here, this “hack” is utterly useless. It’s quite obvious why Apple left it disabled as it has a LONG way to go. The panorama feature, by contrast was at least usable and neat. A little rough around the edges but still does what it is supposed to do.

I couldn’t agree more. I had high hopes for it, but this makes it worthless for me.

Where did you put it in, in GlobalPreferences.plist?

Go back and remove the string you added

How do you disable it? Makes it to hard to type.

It worked however you have to hit “confirm” after each word in order to get a space bar. so for the effort its not worth the feature as currently implemented. alas.

I saw the Tweet and yes it can be done with iFile but you have to be jailbroken. File is located at:

/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/

Make the change and save, reboot, enjoy.

It works. I think these are future features coming in iOS 5.1?

Could not find keyboard.plist file on my iPhone 4 IOS5. So I added the string to the GlobalPreferences.plist and it worked!!

Looks very Andriod like that bar. Not surprising

Works flawlessly on my iPhone 4s. The keyboard plist doesn’t exist in my iPad2.
