Disable quick settings slide down menu - Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers

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,

SIP/Input Selector Shortcut Possible?

Hi everyone,
You know, if we wanted to change the type of input in the middle of entering text to another input method, we have to tap that small little arrow that appears beside the SIP/Input Panel icon (bottom, middle of the screen) which is the SIP/Input Selector? Well with all rage for finger only input, is there any way at all to have some sort of shortcut to this little arrow/input selector? Maybe have it mapped to a hardware button or have an icon appearing in the task bar or something that is big enough to be tapped with a finger.
At the moment, I either have to pull the stylus out just the change the input method or do some gymnastics with my finger and nail to tap that tiny little arrow which sits very close the to the input panel (which is another problem).
ftSwitchSip?
Here you go, install the cab and map it to a hardware button.

Late answer: Slide leftwards
I know this is a very late answer, but other might find it useful.
With the sip popped up. Press sip-icon and SLIDE leftwards, this will pop-up the sip selector, and can be done with any finger, even a thumb.
(Sliding downwards will close the sip, think of it as 'pulling' the keyboard down, a dubblet of just tapping the icon)

[REQ] Twin curtain style app

I'm putting out a request to all developers in compiling this app.
My idea is based off the function of the dialer curtain. Only, this app will have the option of using a transparent curtain or custom curtain (blank, wallpaper, etc.) and the curtains can be activated at any time for any reason, and then of course, be deactivated.
To be a little more detailed, one could use a capacitive swipe upwards from the send key to the home key (and activate transparent mode), or from the end call key to the back key (to activate wallpaper mode), to initialize the program. Upon initialization, the screen wouldn't be immediately covered, only a click and drag icon would appear at the top and/or bottom of the screen. Clicking this icon and dragging up or down would extend and retract the curtain and the curtain could stop wherever you lift your finger (you could use the curtain to partially cover the screen). Reactivating the program while running would simply close it (meaning another swipe upwards of the capacitive area would put away the curtain AND button).
An added option would be to double or triple tap the curtain button once the curtain has been put in place to lock the curtain in place. (even locked so that capacitive swipes won't close the program.)
I feel this could be very useful in many area's and for all types of user's from parents to porn addicts as well as for business. (<---that's sounds kinda F'd up in an ominous pun kind of way.)
Just to name a few
(e.g. Porn addicts could use it for privacy purposes in public. Parents could use it to cover the start menu while in a paint app and let their child play with it without worry, and business when you're multi tasking and need to walk away for a min and want to lock/hide the screen without closing apps or putting your phone into suspend.) Not to mention a fullscreen dialer curtain!
So what do you all think? I know there are apps that can do parts of this which is why I'm asking multiple developers to compile their certain segments.
Please and Thank You!
*Edited* A better way to lock it could be if the curtain button was able to slide left and right. When it pops up, it would start on the right side. when you let go and then touch the button again, you could slide it to the left side of the screen and it would lock. ( Because the button actually sits just above the curtain, when you drag to the very top, the button wouldn't exit the screen and the curtain wouldn't cover the start menu. Same thing for dragging down, it wouldn't cover the softkeys. But when you performed the locking action, the curtain would merely slide up or down the rest of the way. eh?!?!
Is this not that good of an idea? I noticed people have at least looked at this but not a single comment? No body backs this? disagrees? is too busy? i'm kinda disapointed.
Sounds to me like this is another locking application with features of both S2U2 and Touchlock Pro. Would you agree?
yes and no. More like a combo of butler and the HD dialer curtain with visual interaction/amusement. I'm a big fan of using gestures and seeing things work rather than just relying on adequate lighting or waiting for a vibration.
Mainly, this style of locking app allows you to lock out certain parts of your phone with ease, while still being able to use other functions.
To me this is not really another locking app! I actually like this idea. Has some possibility in it! Good thinking

[Q] Any suggestions for a swiping based home and notifications pull down method

Trying to find the simplest way to use swipes with my thumb to get to the home screen and notifications pane. One handed use is a bit of a strain on the thumb.
thanks

Three dot menu help

My thumb is not long enough.
The 6P is big, as we all know, and one-handing it can be a challenge. I find this particularly annoying when web browsing because in order to get to the bookmarks, you have to hit the three-dot menu, and it's way up in the top right of the screen, out of reach of my thumb.
Without rooting, is there a way to move that menu to the bottom? Gave a floating three-dot menu? Assign the square softkey to call up the menu or long-press on it or back key bring it up, like on older phones?
Someone please help. I really want to like this phone.
