Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Greetings. the OS is much smoother but I also miss being able to swipe left and right to go 'forward' and 'back' contextually, if that makes sense. like in android if you went to settings, then down into keyboard settings, then swiped left, you'd go 'back' to the settings page. Does something like that exist

i'm not happy to hear that the new ios is even worse, because the one i'm still on is loving garbage at text selection. it used to be real easy. just hold your finger on something and it would select it. now i have to tap a number of times to select things and even then it still doesn't work right all the time.

double tap/triple tap works really well for plain words but anything with markup like editing a quoted post is terrible

PCjr sidecar posted:honestly there’s a handful of little poo poo gestures etc just fire up books and read through the ios manual which works great, except when it doesn't, like all the ios 13+ text interaction would you like to move the cursor to a line below the one it's in? you can't, so just keep tapping in the hopes that it finally figures out that you want to insert into the line below the one it keeps repeatedly selecting even though it's nowhere near where you've tapped the last ten times

it's also about 70/30 whether it will move the cursor or decide i'm trying to type something via the swype-style input

lol at wanting more ports. I’ve never used more than two ports at once on any laptop. plugging in external display, keyboard, mouse, etc is literally the one scenario where a dongle is the most convenient option. also lol at wanting to run aaa games on a macbook and like quadruple lol that one of the apps they tried to install is winzip. who the gently caress even uses winzip in 2020 let alone on a mac. wtf

sometimes it fucks me off but it’s a cost i’m willing to pay for the help it does give me often I just wish there was a quick way of pressing something to “undo” the autocorrect rather than now having to delete two words coz it’s “corrected” a word two words ago

the worst is when it corrects three words at once and then after correcting all three it just decides to do it again
