Seconding Skarn's comment. Heliboard has a lot of options for what is and is not displayed, shortcuts, etc. If you can't get it the way you want it through the options, a feature in settings allows you to edit the scripting for the layout. I have all the punctuation to the left of the space bar so I don't put periods between each word. It took me no more than 10 mins to configure that, including wasting time backing up the original script (it has an option to return it to defaults), and I'm a "hobbyist" progammer at most.
