I got an ipad pro recently and I was shocked there's not a swipe option for typing on the standard keyboard. After using the Google keyboard every day for years, not being able to type with one finger without lifting it after every letter feels like a huge step back. I feel like this is something where old physical keyboard conventions have persisted on mobile even though we have a proven better ux now. And for anyone who disagrees, tap away - but at least give me the option.
- epmaybe 5y agoYou can change the keyboard to be the small size keyboard in the settings (something like 'one-handed use'). Hope that helps
- nvrspyx 5y agoYou can pinch the keyboard to shrink it to a floating, iPhone-like size, which allows swiping.
- arthurcolle 5y agowhatever happened to the "split keyboard" option on the iPad? I liked that, it really blows that they got rid of it.
- nvrspyx 5y agoI'm pretty sure they still have that, just pinch in the other direction (e.g. like you're zooming in on a picture instead of zooming out)
- arthurcolle 4y agoI don't think it works!
