The new Android M, which was presented last May, will bring us in the coming months a large number of interesting news, although most of them are more useful when we use the operating system from a smartphone. However, today we have known another novelty of Android 6 , which will especially appeal to those who publish content through a tablets.
Specifically, what we have just discovered is a novelty in the official android keyboard, That will allow us split it in two , so that the keys are not scattered all over the screen. All of us who have one tablets almost square, we know how uncomfortable it can be to write with it, so this little novelty will be very well received among tablet users.
Split the keyboard in two, the latest addition to Android M
Typing from an Android tablet, uncomfortable so far
We already saw this at the time with the Swiftkey keyboard, to split and separate the letters and “keys” towards the lattices.
El official keyboard from Google, designed mainly for use from smartphones, can be very practical when we are working from the small screen of a mobile, or if we use a tablet of not too large dimensions, in vertical format.
However, if we have an almost square tablet or we want to write on panorámico formatSince the keys are spread all over the screen, the only way to do it comfortably is to rest the tablet on our lap or on a flat surface, something that is not practical on some occasions.
Keyboard divided into two to write like on a smartphone
This is what you tried to avoid Android M, offering a new option that allows the keyboard appears divided into two blocks, so that the letters are much more accessible, so that when writing, we feel as comfortable as if we were using a mobile.
So now half of the keys will appear on the far left and the other half on the far right. In this way we can take the tablet by the ends and write on it in the same way that we would on a smartphone, pressing the keys with our thumbs.
It is not a particularly new option if we take into account that it was already available in unofficial keyboards, but from now on we will not need to install android apps of third parties, to be able to enjoy it.
