Q: S-Pen button to toggle eraser in S-Note - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With the previous Note devices, you could use the button on the S-Pen to toggle between inking and erasing in S-Note. That functionality seems gone now that the button toggles Air Command. But even when I turn off air command, I can't use that button as a toggle anymore. Is this feature gone for good? It was super convenient. ..

Good question. I've never used a Note, but it would seem to be the most useful way to write effectively with the pen. I would hope that Samsung didn't do away with such a feature just to pimp the new S-pen features.

[Q] REQ Pen window without the pen

Something cool would be to open the pen window chooser without the s-pen pulled out. Maybe a long press of the menu button would open the application selector. I know the multi-window has this in a way, but the quick minimizing and access of the pen window is a nice feature

Q. Trouble about S Pen

Hi guys, im a new user of the Note 3. On the N2 I could use the S Pen button to go back by drawing a < on the screen, and others commands like that. In the N3 I can't find the option to do that. Any suggestion?
One workaround would be to press the back button with the S Pen. You can use the capacitive buttons with S Pen on Note 3 (no such feature on Note 2).

Yeah, I was wondering that maybe that was the reason the function of drawing a back command was removed, and even in the official website they seem to omit the tutorial of the navigation with the S Pen that the N2 had. Thank you very much for your time.

That's a good question.
They have made it like this, to make handwriting with the S-Pen on the screen possible. It will ignore all touches from your hand.

S Pen gestures?

I Googled for this, but didn't turn up any relevant results. Lots of other junk, though.
When using the handwriting input method (keyboard), are there any gestures that you can make with the S Pen that do any editing functions? I know about the little "u" gesture that removes spaces between letters of recognized text. Anything like a gesture to go to a new line, or backspace, etc.?

Question Swipe gestures not working when keyboard (Swiftkey) is open

I noticed that the on-screen gestures for going back (swiping in from the left or right) are not working in the keyboard area. For example if i'm typing something in Whatsapp and want to go back then I have to swipe ABOVE the keyboard for it to work. Otherwise it registers as a keyboard input. The keyboard location is ergonomically the perfect spot to swipe so it's very annoying that this doesn't work.
I never had this problem with my previous phone, a Oneplus 7T Pro, and I am using the same keyboard (Swiftkey).
Anyone with the same problem, or better, the solution?
For new Samsung Devices like S23 series
One Hand Operation +
That's the name of the Samsung app you need. Open its Advanced Settings and disable Fit To Keyboard option.
The app's and OS's gesture systems can coexist without a problem.
