YSK: Android has a "Ctrl+Z" feature, the keyboards just dont support it

boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 256 points –

Hacker's Keyboard (the first one), Florisboard Beta, FUTO Keyboard and more have a button to reverse and repeat the actions.

This can reverse stuff like deleting a text and more.

This feature exists, but just isnt used!

Supported Keyboards

  • Hacker's Keyboard
  • Thumbkey
  • FUTO Keyboard
  • Florisboard (beta)
  • Heliboard (modern Fork of OpenBoard)
  • Unexpected Keyboard
  • AnySoft Keyboard

Let's see if that's true.

Nope. Couldn't find it.

Not saying you're lying, but it's not available on my version of gboard.

Maybe you need to enable Glide Typing in GBoard options or another setting I have turned on.

Here's how it appears on my Galaxy S22

Well fuck me! Mine doesn't have that. Do you have a Pixel?

Samsung Galaxy S22.

What do you see in the popup menu when you long press on an editable text field, like in these comments?

I see an identical menu minus the undo. Fail. Oh well.

No 3 dots you can tap on on that menu to show all the options?

Yup! Three dots, but the second menu doesn't have undo either.

There's an undo in mine...

What phone do you have?

Galaxy S20. I saw the other post was aGalaxy series as well; maybe Samsung just has it enabled?

Yeah, I'm thinking that's the case ... maybe it's a tweak to their Android text boxes. That seems like something that's got to be keyboard independent.
