Hello
I'm have smart keyboard pro installed. And i use the theme t9. But what i'm wondering , is there an option to swipe the cursor when you swipe from the left to the right ( or right to left).
On my ipad i've the option and it's called swipe selection. I'm wondering of there is the same option for android.

I Have searched every ware to find a solution and have yet to find a fix.
USING TOUCH SCREEN.
Problem: When NOT in the Metro UI, Pressing in a text field the typing cursor appears and starts to blink. (ready for typing) (at this point in Windows 7 a keyboard icon will appear for the option to bring up touch keyboard; by pressing it) In Windows 8 this does NOT happen, I have to go to the task bar and manually start it.(little bit of an issue when using a convertible netbook with auto-hide task bar enabled to increase screen area as much as possible.) So I need to use the track pad to navigate to it.
When inside the Metro UI this feature works better than Windows 7 ever did.
So is there a way to fix this, find a fix, or a workaround?
Toolbar

My post already says that.
when in tablet mode that not the easiest thing to do, and very cumbersome.
it should automatically appear when a text field is selected.
it does this in the Metro UI and Metro menus, but not anywhere else..standard applications.....not metro apps....
It should work but for some reason M$ has not enabled it.
You have to actually manually open the keyboard app every time.
after exploring several thing in the os i was able to find 2 temp workarounds.
1. Search tabtip.exe make it a desktop shortcut, right click it and make a shortcut combo key.
2. swipe in from the right side to show the charms panel > select settings > keyboard > Touch Keyboard.
These take a few extra steps each but i guess it will work until M$ fixes it.
I will still be looking to enable the auto feature.
Any news about this issue ?
It is very frustrating that the keyboard do not Automatic pop up!
Hi guys. Does anyone know of a working softkey app? Ive tried a few apps they all either work badly (simple control only allows you to slide them out to the edge where you swipe, useless for this phone as we use the down-up swipe for recents) or dont work when needed (softkeyz adds a second nav bar everywhere but on the home screen).
Any experience?
Hello xda!
I got this phone a couple of months ago and I'm curious if its possible to disable the swipe up to show the keyboard as when I'm watching instagram stories and want to pull up the menu toolbar it shows up the keyboard and i can't leave the story.. (Yes i prefer my toolbar to be hidden and i swipe up to show it) so is there any way that i can disable the keyboard showing up when i swipe up as i only want to show the menu toolbar to go back..
No-one?
I have been using Nexus phones for years with custom ROMs that have option to enable arrow keys on the left/right border of the Navbar. This is super adictive feature to move cursor back/forth. Is there any way to get those on S8? I checked numerous apps for customizing the Navbar but didn't find any that could do this. Some keyboards have option to show arrow keys (e.g. Smart Keyboard Pro that I use) but it is not elegant as it takes space vs. the option in Navbar that is sumply so cool... I am not yet ready to move away from stock ROM on my new S8 - maybe once Lingeage will get stable
So, after some more search I found a great solution - Custom Navigation Bar app (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967) that works exactly like I want. I can add the left/right arrows. i am using the following settings:
- Type: Keycode
- Keycode: Dpad Left / Right
- Icon: Chevron left / right
Hope it helps to somebody
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.
