The choice of an Android keyboard is not an easy task, but one of the most used is the Google keyboard, so we will show different tricks for Gboard and so you can get the most out of it.

The keyboard that we use in our smartphone seems secondary and that often we do not give importance, but that can really make the difference between writing comfortably and writing in a way that does not suit our needs.

Tricks for Gboard, the Google keyboard.

Activate the row of numbers in Gboard.

In order to adjust the keyboard to the space of our mobile screen, Gboard disables the row of numbers by default and thus manages to clear a few pixels. This is an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time, so in the end it is a personal decision to activate or not the row of numbers. In my daily use I see it very useful when writing passwords and to activate this option you have to go to the keyboard settings and in the preferences of Gboard select the option activate row of numbers .

Customize the background color and keyboard keys.

This is aimed at lovers of customization and allows to have a keyboard background with a custom color . The Gboard itself includes several themes with different color combinations. In addition, we can also select if the keys are delimited by a space or all integrated.

Gestures of the keyboard Gboard.

This is the most unknown functionality and that really speeds up writing. In fact, it is activated by default but I am sure that few of you knew them.

The most used gestures are:

• Delete complete word: sliding to the left on the backspace key.
• Place cursor in a position of a word: sliding to the left or right on the space bar we will place the cursor in the different positions.
