Is it possible to turn off swipe up to show the keyboard?

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..

Note 9 Screenshot Help Needed, Anyone Know Tips Or Tricks?

I have a Note 9 SM-N960W and have found a few different ways of doing screenshots. Method 1... Palm swipe is annoying, method 2... power + vol down is hard to time and triggers volume sliders that ruin the screenshot, and method 3... there is a screenshot option in the edge pannel and also smart select.
The Problem with all these is the edge pannel Handel always shows on the resulting image. Is there an easy way to somehow use the built in screenshot app/apk maybe through an activities manager shortcut?
Right now I'm using Button Mapper and have disabled edge pannel but would love a quick & easy way to capture the full screen, no adb, and no edge pannels or palm swipes because they are just annoying! Any helpful suggestions or ideas? I've tried all I could find.

You can try installing standalone apk NavStar (Samsung) from ApkMirror website.
Then download free app "Activity Manager" app
from Play store.
Open Activity Manager, search for NavStar, tap on NavStar and another window will open.
You will see two options.
First option, tap 3 dot menu and create shortcut for
NavStar to configure it, as NavStar
won't show in your app drawer.
NavStar is part of Samsung, Good Lock 2018 app.
However Good Lock 2018 is not available for some markets /users
With NavStar you can customize your navigation bar
to choose your own selection from options available.
You can choose "screenshot" etc.
See attached
You don't have to do any ADB /root/etc
It's a straight forward "sideload /install manually"
app.
Safe, no issues.

I use Buttonmapper to set "single tap" volume down for screen shots. Works perfect..
I use an app called "Softkey Edge App". It's an app panel that you slide out from the side like other edge apps and it has several shortcut keys, screenshot is one of them.
Nice thing is, it takes the screenshot WITHOUT the edge panel, so you actually get what you want.
You can find it on the Samsung App Store.
4 option Will be " Hi! Bixby" take a screen shot
---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------
5 will be using Good lock 2018 and on the NavStar add the option for screen shot
depends if you want to save a screenshot or just share it to someone.
When sharing a screenshot (which I don't necessarily want to keep), I'll hold the home button to trigger google assistant. Then just send a screenshot from there. Nice and simple and no messing with buttons.
Hold Bixby button and say "Take screenshot" ...
Works brilliantly...
Thanks everyone, some great ideas! I decided to go with button Mapper because I don't use edge pannel, I hate the handle showing on my screenshots even though it is transparent to a certain degree. Button mapper takes the screenshot basically instantly and there are no icons or any sort of idea that an extra app is being used. The only downside is my phone is not rooted so I cannot reboot without having to run ADB Commands again, but no biggie since my phone is always on. Thanks for all the help full suggestions everyone!!!

"Smart Select" app - shortcut for rectangle only?

Does anyone know if it is possible to have a shortcut to directly start the rectangle selection tool from the "smart select" edge panel application?
I am asking because I want to map the Bixby button with this feature instead of taking a full screenshot.

Disable quick settings slide down menu

Hi, I am a left handed person, and when I use the pen to write on my yoga book, my hand keeps opening the slide down menu of the quick settings. Is there any way I could remove it from the top of the screen or move it to a different position?
I am sure that any left handed person faces the same problem, I hope we can find a solution to this,
