From the article:
Yes, that means I can access all of my favorite desktop keyboard shortcuts on my phone. Need to select all? Function-A. Want to search a page? Function-F. Undo? Yup, I can do that, too. I can even hit Function-L in Chrome to jump to the address bar and immediately start typing in the site I want to go to.
That is something that I miss in my iPhone. The ability to press 'del' or undo.
- judge2020 4y ago‘Undo’ can be done by shaking your phone
- themodelplumber 4y agoIs there a specific shake pattern? I use twist for camera and handshake chop for flashlight
- unsupp0rted 4y agoI’d love a shake pattern for flashlight on iOS!
- themodelplumber 4y agoIt's really handy, I don't generally even use the flashlight in my pocket when I have one on me, but somehow the phone gesture flashlight gets used about 10-20x daily, even for walking into a room without hitting the light switch, since the phone is in my hand.
- rashkov 4y agoIs this an iOS feature? Where do I find it?
- themodelplumber 4y agoNot that I know of. Unfortunately the best flashlight gesture experience in the business seems to be sold by Motorola. At least last I checked. My friend liked mine and even found an Android app for trying it on his phone, but basically it was 3x slower than the Moto gestures version despite being on a much faster phone. Not sure why.
- olyjohn 4y agoI love how the ability to shake your phone to turn on the flashlight is practically gated by Motorola. God forbid we are able to do what we want with our phones. Gotta get vendor approval first.
- justusthane 4y agoNo
- Ralfp 4y agoI was confused by my iPhone asking me constantly if I want to undo typing. Turned out this was the device thinking I am shaking to undo.
- EForEndeavour 4y agoInteresting. Do you find you have a shakier than usual phone grip? I know that iPhones can alert the user when ambient noise levels exceed safety thresholds, and Apple Watches can detect and alert about detected falls, and even atrial fibrillation. I wouldn't be surprised if phone accelerometer signal processing could predict something like Parkinson's disease.
- Gigachad 4y agoThis thing triggers all the time on me when I do something like drop the phone on myself.
- JKCalhoun 4y agoSounds like we just need modifier keys added to the touch-screen keyboards.
- joseph_grobbles 4y agoFWIW, with a bluetooth keyboard it is pretty shocking how complete the keyboard support in iOS. I have a K480 at the office for those random times I need to respond to something on my iPhone and don't want to deal with the crippling restrictions of an onscreen keyboard, and I hugely recommend it. With the keyboard almost every norm of macOS is supported.
