Gboard's new resizing options discovered in latest beta
Gboard is definitely one of the best keyboard apps out there, which is why it's chosen as the default keyboard by several Android manufacturers. With these brands producing phone screens of different shapes and sizes, a dynamic keyboard that adapts to each screen type is more important than ever. We recently discovered his Gboard's new default split layout on the Samsung Galaxy Fold series, but Google is now testing a new option that gives you tighter control over the size and position of your keyboard, regardless of screen size. I am.
Gboard has features in the gills that allow you to resize and reposition it for optimal comfort. The app's one-handed mode lets you easily type with one thumb on a wide display, and the floating option shows his Gboard as a repositionable window on top of the app you're using. Apart from these layouts, 9to5Google has discovered a new option called. resize It's in the toolbar of the latest Gboard beta (v13.2.05).
tapping resize First, it gives you the option to change the vertical height of the keyboard by simply dragging the edges up or down using the pull handles, similar to how you resize an image. This is a big step up from his traditional 7-position height adjustment. Gboard settings → Environmental setting → keyboard height. The new option allows you to change the width as well, so you can make Gboard span the entire width of your display, or you can make it take up only a third of its space. This setting also allows you to define the lower limit of your keyboard, so you can move the spacebar row further up, as far as you can comfortably reach.
When all adjustments are complete, press the checkmark to confirm or use the options to reset Gboard to normal size. I'm not sure why this option was added when options like one-handed mode exist, but there are obvious benefits, such as fine-grained size adjustment and no keyboard position controls normally found in one-handed mode. There are several. However, this is a beta feature and may undergo further revisions before becoming a stable channel.
