Default used to be split screen 50/50 and would even stick if resized. But now it opens covering like 80% of screen and resizing doesn't stick. Anyway to fix this?
Also, the multiwindow bar used to have a tab you could use to pull out. Anyway to get that back too?

If I understand correctly
1. Go Settings-->Multi window (under device)-->Check "Open in split screen view". Please note not all application supports this, i.e. calculator
2. Long press "back" button to enable the tab, not sure if this is what you are looking for
Enjoy your edge, cheers

When I touch a text-field, the onscreen keyboard pops up, which is all fine and dandy, but the text-field doesn't move up and away so I can see what I'm typing. This problem is universal to all apps, so I know it's a system problem. Any ideas?
Either move the on-screen keyboard for input boxes near the bottom, or pin/dock it (which will re-size the app window and should bring the field into view or at least let you scroll to it)

Is there an easy way to mod the on screen keyboard on desktop mode so that it can be made smaller? The size it scales to when in portrait mode is more than big enough, pity it wouldn't stay that small on landscape, thanks.

This is for the desktop and not Metro? If so that's by design - unless you pin the keyboard it floats, and you move it out of the way...

My Note 10.1 is new with up to date software.
On the Home screen I want to remove two unrequired blank pages. If I select one of these pages and then open the Menu/edit I see only one options - that is to CANCEL (an 'X'). Pressing this just clears the dialogue box! Hence there seems to be no 'edit' functions whatsoever. So how can the unrequired page be deleted or even reordered.
I'm sure there is a simple answer but I cannot find it by searching either these pages or perusing the user manual.
Pinch the home screen down to minimize then delete the ones you dont need or add more

Sounds like you are touching the Google search button when you are pinching, try it in the middle of a blank page.

When you pinch in all your desktop screens should appear.........
You then touch the one you want to delete and in one motion drag it to the top where it says delete.

I've googled it and got nothing.
Search this forum and not found it either
On Windows 8, if I scroll my mouse to the left/ left corner of the screen, I can see my current apps.
I can then close them.
With my keyboard connected I can do this on my surface using trackpad.
How do I do it without my keyboard connected?
I don't want to swipe them in, I want to see the icons of the apps I have running so I can close them.

you have to swipe in from the left a short distance. I don't own a windows touch device but did get a go on a display model, was kinda fiddly to get the distance just right, was probably about half the distance you need to swipe to switch apps. With some practise you should be able to nail it.

There's two behaviours for a short swipe in from the left. I believe the default one is to "swipe in" the last used app. Whereas what you want is to see a list of currently running apps (me too).
Go Settings>Change PC Settings and you're looking for a setting something like "App Switching">"When I swipe in from the left edge, switch between my recent apps instead of showing a list of them". In 8.1 that setting is under PC & devices, I can't recall if it's the same in 8.
The default way to do what you're asking is to swipe in from the left edge, then swipe back to the edge without releasing the swipe. It's a very quick and easy gesture easily made with the thumb; you don't have to swipe in more than maybe 1/4 of an inch (6mm) before swiping off the screen again to get he app switcher sidebar to appear.
To close the apps using touch only, you can do the following:
Drag the app from the sidebar off the bottom of the screen.
thanks, that's great.
I'm trying to write a Tasker task that would, among other things, trigger one-handed mode on my S8+. Simulating the triple home button press doesn't work as it's too slow, and I don't want to use the swipe as it stupidly resets the size of the reduced screen to default (I prefer it a bit bigger). So now I'm trying to figure out what the activity is that launches when you put the phone in one-handed and trigger that directly. It does not appear to be something you can adjust through settings as I took a list of settings from adb before and after triggering the mode change and nothing was different. Any thoughts on locating this?
You can resize that window as well. Swipe from the edge of the screen as you normally do, then swipe towards the bottom of the screen without lifting your finger up.

Thanks, that might be useful. But can Tasker simulate that input of swiping up and then down without lifting?
Update: logcat shows a few interesting messages when one-handed mode is started. The first output is "SamsungPhoneWindowManager: toggleEasyOneHand() enabled=1". Then there's some stuff that seems to control the screen shrinking animation and set up the background for the non-usable screen space, and then there's a vibration call from a package called "com.sec.android.easyonehand".
I figure my best shot at doing what I'm trying to do is to either find a way to send that toggle command to the window manager directly or figure out the right activity to start in that system package. Unfortunately it looks like inspecting the package manifest is a no-go. Anyone have any thoughts on the next step?
Edit: was able to get the manifest after all. There's an intent filter action called "com.samsung.action.EASYONEHAND_SERVICE". I've tried calling that with an am start command in terminal emulator and I get "unable to resolve intent".
So you could not find a proper solution? Im interested in this too
Hi
I want to create a shortcut for one hand mode (3x home button) so that it is an action like "back" on the navigation bar so that I can put it in my swiftly switch pro menu and access one hand mode with a single action instead of pressing the home button 3x.
Any ideas how to do that? (I just switched from iPhone to Android and am a newbie)
Regards

Hi man. I'm from Russia, firmware may differ. But I have a choice: a jesture or a 3-push of a button. I prefer jesture.
To make it work you should swype diagonally from edge of screen (down and right edge). Also, if you hold a bit longer, you can change the size of the screen (bigger / less). See "One-handed mode Galaxy s8" on YouTube
It is completely legitimate to make a shortcut button or icon to one hand mode instead of thosr cumbersome gestures.
Here is how to do it :
Simply run this terminal command from any method or script '
am startservice -n com.sec.android.easyonehand/.EasyOneHandService
This works on the galaxy s5. This rune the service to activate the one hand mode.

There is, at least according to my intense research and my logic, no way to open directly an app in pop-up mode. Indeed even Samsung doesn't have a shortcut for this, at least not at my knowledge.
But, it is possible to launch the multi window launcher and then launch an app from here in terminal with root :
am startservice com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService/.MultiWindowTrayService
This command is only for the launcher. Normally there should also be a terminal command to put the currently on-screen app in pop-up, just like the slide from corner gesture.

Yes and no, what I mean is that the app is not directly launched in pop-up because you need the extra step of opening the side launcher.
One way is as I did, to replace the home button with the side launcher (1 tap = side launcher, 2 taps = home screen) , it is possible with Nova Launcher.
What would be equally perfect is to find a way to open the app directly in pop-up with an activity on the home screen or, once the app is launched thanks to Tasker for example force the app to go in pop-up automatically. It must be possible because the side corner swipe to put the app in pop-up is simply an activity or service or some thing of some sort, but I haven't manage to find the command line.

The thing is i am on android pie so i dont have the multi window "launcher" the way i can open a app in pop-up window is either thru swiping from the edge of the screen or going into the recents apps and clicking the app icon and clicking open in pop-up mode

On this android version it is easier because there are root apps in Play store or in Xposed to manage this, isn't there? I think a saw few apps claiming to manage multiwindow for this version.
