Recent developments are poised to enhance the experience of Android stylus users, exemplifying ongoing innovations in this realm.
Google is dedicated to refining the support infrastructure for digital styluses on the Android platform. Several innovations are in the pipeline, with a focus on optimizing the Gboard – Google’s virtual keyboard. This initiative is notably intertwined with the forthcoming Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold devices. As these innovations take shape, a more comprehensive picture emerges.
As previously reported, forthcoming updates will enable stylus utilization across virtually all text fields. Building on this, the experts at Gappsmodsflags have shed light on additional features, unveiling a new sidebar that activates when a stylus is in use. This sidebar hosts a range of convenient shortcuts.
While novel gestures tailored for these styluses are on the horizon, the sidebar will encompass pivotal functionalities. These include inputs such as ‘enter,’ ‘space,’ ‘delete,’ ‘undo,’ along with rapid access to emojis.
Concurrently, it appears that Google is developing its stylus specifically for the Pixel Tablet. However, the software underpinning this advancement is still undergoing refinement. An imminent substantial update for the Gboard is anticipated to accompany these developments, with preparatory efforts already underway.
