Bravo on the updates! :tada: I will give them a test drive this coming weekend.

A feature that I was looking forward to, I didn’t see listed. Will Keyman 18 for iPhone and iPad be able to install included fonts system-wide? Such that the keyboard package fonts can be used by other apps? If so, I think this is also noteworthy.

Thanks @dyacob. Sadly, we didn’t manage to get that feature in. We would certainly have announced it. See feat(ios): iOS 13 supports system-wide font installation, apparently. So we should do that. · Issue #3445 · keymanapp/keyman · GitHub

Hello I am usiing keyman keyboard for my shopify store, I have added the code and it’s working fine in the mac safari but when I switch to the chrome or Mozilla browser, its not working,
I am only showing it on my product input field.

Very important improvements. More grace.
I just installed 18.0.193-beta and I notice it still requires restarting to complete installation.

Yes, the upgrade from 17 to 18 will still require a restart. Hopefully future upgrades will be able to happen without a restart, when Windows starts.

Any chance this (Go to settings) will be considered in KM 18?

The feature set for v18 is locked – we are coming up to release. Please make sure that you open a feature request issue for consideration in a future version of Keyman.
