Hi All,
When I use Navigation Gesture instead of Nav Bar, the "switch Keyboard" Button is also gone,.
I use Gboard and another third party input, butnow find it very hard to switch around, have to go all the way to setting --languages--
just wondering is there a shortcut / Gesture for switch keyboard?
Thanks in advance
Hi @sd1577956,
I came up against the same issue with my 6T when using Navigation gestures as opposed to either the Android 8 (Oreo) or 9 (Pie) Navigation Bar.
I found that when I tap into an an area that I can enter text and the keyboard appears, a new notification also appears that if I tap it, allows me to switch between keyboards.
Some keyboards (like the native Gboard), also allow you to switch keyboards by long pressing the space bar (but this is not supported universally by third party keyboards in my experience).
I hope that helps,

As the question says really.
On my desire, a long press in the type area would bring up the menu to switch keyboards between say swype, stock and swiftkey. How do I do that on the One X?
In settings-> language and keyboard enable the keyboard(s) you want to use then go to a text field and pull down the notification bar and select the input method switcher.
brilliant, thanks
you can also swipe left/right within the keyboard to switch.
Hi guys,
Ok, so I'm coming from an old Nexus 4 on which I was used to do everything with one hand (right).
I was used to Pie Control, and completely remove my software navigation bar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in build.prop)
Now, I'd like to do quite the same thing with my OP3, but I'm struggling a bit.
As you know, with OOS, we can use either:
Capacitive Buttons
On-screen navigation bar
When I use Pie Controls (either LMT or GravityBox) and set the navigation to capacitive buttons, it's mostly OK, but there's always the unintentional touch, especially when holding the device in landscape mode.
When I set the navigation to on-screen buttons (but don't use them), "Back" and "Home" simple tap on Pie Control doesn't work at all (Longpress's and Recent simple tap work fine, though).
I tried fiddling with build.prop but didn't manage to disable both altogether.
Code:
# enable navigation bar
#ifdef VENDOR_EDIT
#[email protected] disable navigation bar
#qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
#else
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
#endif
Anyone knows how to disable both capacitive buttons AND standard software navigation bar ?
If it's possible to stay on OOS for the moment, that would be great
Thanks in advance.
Yes, something is strange in OOS in that respect.
I use GMD Gesture Control (like I do always on every device), but if I use the on-screen navbar instead of the capacitve buttons, "back" gesture doesn't work anymore. Home gesture works.
Perhaps someone could shed some light onto what the causes could be...
Anyone find a fix for this?
Hello! I'm hoping that I can disable the soft navigation bar, and go to a more traditional Fire OS style of navigation, using swipe navigation.
I found a post caliming that "PImp my rom" can disable the nav bar, but it didn't seem to respond to the tweak option, and I still have the soft nav bar
Thank you,
cheers

But expandable Desktop doesnt set the on screen keys to disable, only hide. They'll still show if you're swiping up.
Adding a new line with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop with a text editor Will permanently disable on-screen keys. It would have been handy if there was a UI shortcut for that somewhere.
Anyway I force-disabled Screen buttons, set Double tap to recent apps, and hold button to google now. Then bought the app you suggested to set all 3 swipe from bottom gestures to mimic the back function. Now the navigation feels just like FireOS's except amazon search assistant is replaced with google and I love it.

Using a prop editor, I was able to add h qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop <-- fantastic fix
I then customized the home button to do double tap-- app library, and hold-- switch back to last app.
Swipe Navigation works wonders, just as Chocolina stated above
Better solution
If you want to completly disable navigation bar soft keys then you must install slim kat,you can easily completly disable the soft keys and can add swipe up navigation just like amazon..i m also using slim kat rom and i have personally tested all roms but look wose slim kat is the best rom and no bugs in it..i have also disabled the system navigation keys and added swipe up to go back and hold home button for recent apps.

how to add "swipe up to go back"?
At first I didn't like the gestures but now they are great. And you get All the screen all the time.
Can you customize what gestures do ? or are they predefined and unchangeable ?
I mean changing the gesture of "recent app" for "back" or "home" for example.
I use gestures to it's quite Good when used to it
Hello! As per the title, I'm looking for a way to hide the navigation bar while I'm typing with the physical keyboard. I'm currently in immersive mode, but everytime I tap any sort of text entry field with the keyboard attached, the navigation bar pops right up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
