I’m a Gboard user who uses more than one language (I have to do so). On a daily basis, I use the spacebar to move the cursor left and right by swiping it. Unfortunately, the spacebar, when holding it, serves also for choosing a language. Wanting to move the cursor, I often mistakenly launch the language settings.
How to disable the language settings being launched by the spacebar? Another button with a globe icon is sufficient if I want to enter the language settings. It’s impossible to disable this feature in the Gboard settings. Do you know any other method?
I’m not willing to switch to another Android keyboard. I’ve tried them and they didn’t fulfill my expectations.

today, a mayor update for touchpal has been released (v4 -> v5). i like the new look, but the keyboard has lost a key function: it was possible in v4 to hold on a letter and drag it down to write the secondary function.
e.g.: hold "h" and drag it down -> "&".
it was also possible to edit the secondary functions. v5 doesn't allow me to do this.
does anybody know an alternative app? reply please!
(for now, i still use v4, downloadable HERE.

didn't find out how to edit secondary functions, though.
does anybody know if&how this is possible?
Hello
I created simple app called Dicty that allows you to choose dictionary with terms that will be displayed in form of text and wallpaper on your lock screen. Terms on lock screen are changing automatically, so you can get fresh knowledge and inspiration every time you unlock your smartphone.

You can find it under "Dicty - Learn from Lockscreen" name (can't post urls here yet). App Id: dec9978f-0ffb-454a-be0a-bed059dae003. Any feedback appreciated
I have the dumbest problem ever. I just bought a Xiaomi fitness tracker, and I can't use it because in one of the screens during setup, the "next" button is hidden under Gboard. There's a back button that closes the app (stupid), but no other controls; no way to remove focus from the text field. Hitting return just creates a new line in the text box. Please help!

you could try to remove/change keyboard from the drop down notification bar?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, my notification bar (OxygenOS) doesn't have any keyboard options.
However, I was able to get around the issue by going into my phone settings ->Language and Input->change keyboard to SwiftKey->go back to the setup screen->tap the settings button on the Swift Key keyboard->and select "undock". This allowed me to move the keyboard up, finally revealing the next button.
These developers should be ashamed, truly.

I'm also interested in this I posted the same on the gboard support page as have others hopefully it'll come one day but there's no way to do it presently
So I just noticed having installed the Activity Manager app through F-droid, I've not yet set up root, so many of the activities will be unavailable to launch. But one app with a couple of hidden settings not accessible at all via device menus is the Performance app. Not only do I see options to enable ZRAM which is disabled by default and have no intention to activate it. But the other hidden menu is of interest labeled Quick Launch. Though that one is found in settings as a simple switch, the hidden menu accesses a page that allows you to set up to 3 apps for Quick Launch.
Has anybody tinkered with these options? Is it better to leave them alone and select no apps for quick launch or is there an app that should absolutely be on that list that I'm likely misusing?
