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.

Im on stock Ec05 and while looking at the keyboard setting i found an (kinda) interesting setting. Go to Setting>Locale and Text. Select the default keyboard to Samsung, then go to Samsung keypad settings, select Portrait keypad types, select Handwriting box 1 or 2. Now instead of having a keyboard to type with, you could just write the word out with your finger and it will recognize it. Thought I'd share.
I think the T9 keyboard app has this feature as well. I tried it, and it works, but it is definitely slower than just tapping on the keys.
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
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?

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!
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
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.
