[Q] one handed keyboard - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

there is a option within the xperia for one handed use , you can enable that under keyboard settings
I want to ask that when i once activate it under the keyboard settings , and while typing if i go back to the larger one , how can i enable the one handed keyboard right from the normal one or do I have to go the settings every time ??

I just installed Swype, which allows you to configure your keyboard for mini-left, mini-right, and split (for landscape) in the settings. It works great.

How to switch to different keyboard from samsung stock

This maybe a stupid question, but what button do I need to press to switch from the stock Samsung keyboard to a different one that i have installed?
I would like to do it on the fly and switching between different keyboards while typing....
The other keyboard I have installed has a dedicated button to allow me to switch back to samsung, not the other way around
Any idea?
Hey mg_k I don't believe you can do that using the stock Samsung keyboard. I had a little fiddle and the only way I found you could switch is to go to Settings > Keyboard and input > select the keyboard you want.

That's ridiculous on Samsung's part
oh well ICS keyboard here i come
Thanks for the info.
first you must install 3rd party keyboard application in your phone..
to change the keyboard is when you type a message, there will be a keyboard icon in notification bar, just tap it to change the default keyboard.

Yeah that works, only if you have the third-party keyboard enabled

That's the answer I am looking for! Not as elegant as a button within the keyboard...but at least that works.
Thanks heaps

[Q] Swiftkey phone: Hack to use on tablet?

Swiftkey has a nice layout feature for phones - in landscape mode, you have the option to split the keyboard with arrow keys in the middle.
I have purchased Swiftkey, and now want to use it on my tablet in that same mode but the developers have frustratingly put in a block that if a tablet is detected, that one option is disabled. Messages come up urging you to buy the tablet version, but even the tablet version does not have that layout option like I would like to have.
Soooooooo, it there a way to hack something to make Swiftkey think it is installed on a phone, to enable that layout option?

[app] fastest keyboard with swype + fix for xmp hw keyboard

I found this keyboard while desperately looking for one that would show suggestions when using the hardware keyboard.
This one does, and it also got swype while having a size of less then 500 kb (without dictionary).
It has also got the ability of changing the hardware keyboard layout. Strangely it is enabled by default, so my azerty became a qwerty when using that keyboard. (I didn't know apps could take over a hardware thing???) You can turn it off in the settings -> physical keys -> remap keys. You can also change the hardware layout yourself by changing the 'language keycode' in the same settings pane, however I don't know what you should enter (qwerty is the default at 204).
you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh&hl=en
There are some quirks, since it is a beta.
For instance you can't type a web address decently, as it will always put a space behind a dot (unless you turn off 'insert space after swype')
Also, It will by default use auto-correction on password and log in fields, which you can also turn off by deselecting 'always predict'.
I almost forgot to mention one thing: it's by fr the fastest keyboard I have ever seen. Even after coldboot, the keyboard will popup instantly after hitting a text field.
thanks bro
finaly an alternative to swiftkey I'll test that
Good work!
Nice! Thanks!

Swipe from bottom gesture is bugged

Is frustrating that every time I made a swipe from the bottom of the screen, there will be an involuntary touch to the app I'm using or with the keyboard space bar/letters.
A small workaround is to use the bottom gesture bar, but other phones this will not be an issue.
It seems to be a normal behaviour from a certain version of OneUI but no one seem to care about it.
Coming from an old OnePlus 5T, I've noticed it from day one on my S21+.
I'm missing something or what?
I'm the only one facing this issue?
Go to Settings > Display > Navigation Bar. Here try to activate Gesture hints; then open more options in "Swipe gestures" and increase Gesture sensibility.
I also found usefull to download "Good Lock" from the Galaxy store. There in Home Up> Task Changer I activated "Allow bottom gestures in full screen mode"; this was the thing that gave me the most headache.

Yes, it seems to help a bit within apps interface but not with keyboard.
Today I've tested my old OP5T and there is a different approach with gesture.
Swiping from bottom is really fluid and no there are no issues with keyboard.
I will try to make a video comparison, because this is the only major issue I've found with this device.

Sorry since I don't have problems with the keyboard I have just realized your problem. To solve it go in Setting > General management >Keyboard list and default: here just switch on "keyboard button on navigation bar" and "Show button hide keyboard". By activating these two options your keyboard is going to be moved up a bit so you can avoid miss press (if you use Samsung keyboard you can also just press the three dots then keyboard size and move the keyboard up).
