Anyone know how to create a shortcut or swipe gesture to launch a new Google Voice SMS?
Is there any way to search the applist without having to reach for the little search icon in the top left corner? It would be nice, for example, to be able to have a shortcut bring me to the app search from ultrashot's Quick Launch.
Is there a way to enable suggestions for the keyboard in all apps?
For example, the Google search bar/Google Now, Chrome, IMDb and parts of Gmail (Search, To field) all lack the corrections/suggestions bar. Without the suggestions, using gesture typing (with Google Now especially) is impossible if you're not going for the most common word.
Hi, I'm currently using the Google keyboard on my S4. Is it possible, using the personal dictionary function in the settings, to assign multiple words to one shortcut? I'd like for the shortcut, when typed, to appear in the suggestion bar with a "..." underneath to allow me to select from multiple words or phrases from my personal dictionary. So for example, I type in the shortcut "greet" and when I hold down on it in the suggestion bar, it shows all phrases and words assigned to that shortcut
Is this possible?
Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me of an Android app that can create Android Shortcuts (Like Contact, Direct Dial ... ) but for actual keyboard shortcuts (like Back, Undo, Home, Copy Paste)?
Let me tell you the reason behind this:
I find that these days, with screen size increasing, we need a more customizable virtual navigation bar to put to the right of the screen, because when holding a bigger fablet, you will only have 1 finger free, and that is the thumb finger, and it points up... it is uncomfortable to point it down to the base of the screen where the navigation bar usually is. Now most apps like this are too simple, and they just stick to the screen, you can't hide them on full screen apps, and you can't add custom shortcuts. And you get that awful and idiotic error "screen overlay detected". It's not like that is an efficient security measure, apps can override that. Android, just make the settings menu temporarily remove any screen overlay !
Anyway, I’m diverging. I have found 2 apps, that if combined would be perfect for that: Meteor Swipe and Menu Button.
Menu Button because it has one of the best shortcut system I have seen (back, home, menu, copy paste, media control), very customizable, but Meteor Swipe has a much better interface, with swipe to change pages and leather skin background.
If I could add Menu Button shortcuts on Meteor Swipe, that would be perfect, but I already talked to the developer, and he is not planning on adding more shortcuts, because it would be too complicated.
But the Developer of Menu Button did a very smart thing: it uses the app as a keyboard, and this allows him to use keyboard shortcuts.
Do you have any ideas for me?
Kind regards,
Daniel
