It's quite hard to hit the the most far out letters on the keyboard while gesture nav is ON. I imagine it's because these letters overlaps with the back gesture.

I've been reading a lot of posts about people having issues with not having arrow keys on the new Gingerbread keyboard. To access the arrow keys all you have to do is press and hold the Space bar and flick your finger up. and the arrow keys will appear on there own row at the bottom of the keyboard. Hope this helps!!
Arrow Keys on Keyboard
When I first read this post I was super excited since this is one thing I really miss from HTC Sense. I have tried to hold the space key and flick my finger up but no arrow keys
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! I was about to purchase the full keyboard from the market until I googled "gingerbread keyboard arrow keys" and found this post.
Big Shout out!
love this keyboard but have one slight problem. i only use gesture typing & therefore i never get to see what the next words are suggested. the suggested words only appear when a space is entered after a word. when using gesture typing, i never use the space key because it puts the space in for me when i swipe the next word. is there a setting so that the space is inserted automatically after i swipe a word instead of when i swipe the next word?
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?
What i want to do is hide the nav. bar while using the onscreen keyboard - but i can't! Autohide doesn't work when the onscreen keyboard is on. This creates two problems, one when I go to tap on the spacebar I accidentally tend to tap the home button on the navigation bar instead, and two the keyboard with the addition of the navigation bar takes up so much room on this new low ceiling screen that I often cannot even see what I'm typing. I went to the Best Buy store today and spoke with their Samsung expert. She said there have been a lot of complaints about this and it effects the phones too and it started with a new update.
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!
