Hi! I use gestures but can’t remove this blank space under the keyboard, which make typing very difficult..I can’t move the keyboard lower than this and I’ve also selected “Remove Navigation Bar” in “Navigation Options through gestures”..How can I resolve?

    Hey 👋

    I believe this is just a Google Keyboard optimization thing, I’ve not seen any method of removing this space.

      Hey :-) Personally I need this space. I think it is much more comfortable to type like this. Reaching down your thumb to the very bottom of your screen it not very intuitive (even when it would probably look better)…

      Omednothing on other keyboard app i have too this under bar, seems like it’s a default for all the keyboards.

        Omednothing Try Florisboard once, there is no space underneath the keyboard and it’s also safe and open-source! Shoutout to Patrick Goldinger for this creating this privacy focused keyboard app.

          Omednothing bro I think you are using another keyboard other than gboard, as I saw from the image you uploaded. Try using gboard and check again.

            I think that thing is dedicated to minimize the keyboard and to switch the keyboard…..
            thats good approach

            I understand it is for a good purpose..the fact is that I have big fingers, so I usually enlarge the keyboard and make it so much bigger than the original size..the blank space become improductive in this case (and in the previous phone it didn’t happen).

            I also installed another keyboard, but it behaved similarly, or even worse, because in that gap, hide the keyboard appears on the right, and on the right, change the Google or other keyboard. The trouble lies in the fact that when I write, I often touch the keys in the space. There could be a gap, but the hiding and changing of keyboards should be gone, please!

            True 🙁.. I also heard that other brands allow it, so some other people beside us certanly need it..

            we may see in future. samsung has it as well to hide keyboard icon.
