[OSK] Return to standard chars after inserting '@'

[Riccardo Padovani]

After inserting a '@' there is always (or 99.9% of times) a standard letter.
It could be a good idea to return to standard chars layout after the user clicks on the @ button

*****UX Solution*****

After an @ is inserted the keyboard should return to the standard char layout.

Can't reproduce.

@femma, what does this mean?
You don't think it's useful to go back to chars when you click on @?
Or what?

I don't understand this at all. Are you referring to the mobile device
keyboard? Please add a clearer description/steps and potentially screen
shots so I can replicate the bug.

Yes, on mobile.

0. Open SMS app
1. Start writing an SMS
2. Insert an email address, like <email address hidden>
3. You have to type 'rpadovani' then click the '?123' button, then clicking '@', then clicking 'ABC', then finish typing.

I suggest to remove the click of 'ABC' after clicking the '@'

What I'm suggesting is to modifing the behavior of the osk when clicking '@' to be the same of when you click the ' itself.

Like, try to type "it's"

0. Type "it"
1. Click on "?123" button
2. Click '
2a. The keyboard goes on the letters on its own, without clicking "ABC"
3. Type "s"

To type "it@s" you have to:
0. Type "it"
1. Click on "?123" button
2. Click "@"
3. Click "ABC"
4. Type "s"

As you can see, in the second case there is one more click from the user, and I think it's useless.

There is no user case I can think to that requires a symbol after a @, so I suggest to switch to alphabet again after inserting @ without user input
