Hello and thanks for this great app.

Describe the bug

When I put my phone on "do not disturb mode", "silence mode" or "battery saving mode", the keyboard vibration stays active.

For now, keyboard sound is well stopped by :

  • "do not disturb mode"
  • "silence mode"

Keyboard sound is active when "battery saving mode" is active (don't know if this is good behavior or not).

To Reproduce

  • Activate keyboard vibration in parameters
  • Put phone on "do not disturb mode", "silence mode" or "battery saving mode"
  • try to write something with HeliBoard

Expected behavior

Vibrations stops (may be after a checkbox Stop vibrating if "do not disturb mode", "silence mode" or "battery saving mode" is active is checked in app parameters).

App version

2.2 from F-Droid

Device:

  • Model: Samsung Galaxy A54S 5G
  • OS: LOS 21 / Android 14

I understand this for do not disturb, but silent mode just disables the sound and not vibration. Or has this changed in recent Android versions?

As for battery saving mode: does vibration or sound have a noticeable or at least measurable effect on battery?

Edit: looks like silent mode did disable vibration only for a short time
According to another article, vibration in silent mode can be disabled specifically. So I will not disable haptic feedback in silent mode.

Exact, silence mode and battery saving mode let vibrations of the Android interface active (on my Android 14 / LOS21 phone), I agree with you. So only the do not disturb can be useful (my main need).

I'd argue that this change should be optional, the reasoning is that vibration feedback helps you type more accurately, and if the device has a decent vibrator, then each vibration is a light (not disturbing) sensation
