Navigation buttons when keyboard is open, gestures elsewhere - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

I am just wondering if there is any sort of modification or functionality that allows the physical nav buttons to pop up when the keyboard is open, but the rest of the time navigation is done via gestures?
I find myself making typing mistakes due to the placement of the keyboard without the nav buttons, and turning the keyboard off is sometimes a pain with the gesture.

Funny, the Zenfone 5Z has navigation gestures almost identical to the 6T but the navigation buttons stay on when a keyboard is active. I hated that because I got used to swiping instead of tapping the button, so I would swiping away with no results. I'm very happy the 6T remedied that.

[Q] trackpad

After the recent update the trackpad has reverted to its original setting, I must admit I preferred the trackpad mirroring finger use on the screen moving your fingers upwards to push the screen upwards, and swiping down to move the screen down has on the screen. Getting rid of the flakey pinch to zoom, and the option to use mouse pointer instead of gesture pointer is welcome. Keyboard lag greatly reduced.
I am pretty sure the gestures have been reverted back to save any backlash from apple, My Macbook pro pushes the screen up using upward motion on the trackpad, also the physical design of the keyboard dock from above closely mirrors the MBP.
Is there an option to use the trackpad in either direction as I cannot see one in settings?

I'm not sure if it affects the scrolling direction, but there is an option under Keyboard & Input to change the mouse pointer. I'd play with that.
Yes done that and changed mouse pointer back to arrow instead of circle. There is no option for track pad screen movement.
appologies your right, just have to live with the circle curser in gesture mode

Any way to hide/disable menu buttons when typing in landscape?

I'm a pretty sloppy typist and I find that when I'm typing in landscape mode I'm constantly hitting the soft menu buttons underneath the space bar (home, keyboard hide, and app switcher). As you might imagine, this is pretty annoying as I'm constantly losing the page I'm working on. Does anyone know of an app or setting that will either hide or disable the three soft keys when I'm typing?

Swiftkey swiping gestures are hit or miss?

Evening Nexus 4 owners,
I am writing to see if anyone else experiences a similar problem with their Swiftkey 3 keyboard app. For those who don't know, Swiftkey has swiping gestures (swipe left on keyboard to delete the most recent word, swipe right to close the keyboard, swipe up for shift/caps lock, swipe down to close the keyboard). For me, these gestures only work half the time. Anyone else? When attempting to do these gestures, it would often type out a letter instead
Besides the strange click sound that occurs when device is on Vibrant/Silent mode (which is fixed by turning off "click sounds" altogether) and the loose volume button (which is fixed by putting on a bumper case), the Nexus 4 is an okay device

Disable home button and not fingerprint functionality.

Hello,
My team lead has a OnePlus two and had a question so I told him I'd find out. He's severely vision impaired and currently using a OnePlus 2 with the latest Oxygen. Something that annoys him is how the fingerprint reader works as a home button because he accidentally bumps into it all the time while using the device. He's currently got the whole thing disabled, however he'd like to use the fingerprint unlock functionality while not enabling the home button. Is there a way to do so?
Thanks
Of Course there is. Go into the button settings where on-screen nav bar is enabled. There will be an option to enable physical home button with on-screen nav bar. Disable it.

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.
