For example, if I type out a sentence and decide I want to add asterisks around a word for emphasis, why does Gboard replace the space between the previous word and the emphasized word instead of just adding the new character? Is this added functionality for something I just don’t understand?
Edit: I believe I have fixed the issue by disabling the “Smart Compose” option.
Are you all swiping with Gboard, like I do? How are using it?
I swipe, yes.
Swiping all the way to the bank. I cannot wrap my head around people who tap out each letter. It’s like people standing in line at the supermarket instead of using the scan-it-yourself-and-self-checkout app. Why???
I mean, it gives people a job when there aren’t a lot of options. I still, selling uniquely among my age group, prefer a checkout line. Then again I worked at a grocery and saw how they replaced 10 jobs with one person barely managing 20 self checkouts, so I’m biased.
I used swipe a lot until I got a big phone (a glaxy fold), with the wide screen I find I use swipe typing less and less. As soon as you can comfortably use two thumbs at once it gets much faster and you also dint have to worry about typing words tvat arent in the dictionary. I can tap type at 60wpm fwiw.
Good point, although it doesn’t look like it’s working out perfectly for you 😅
