YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Undo has been available in the Alt Menu of GBoard for a while. Long press on an editable text field then select Undo in the popup alternative menu (sometimes you need to scroll over or tap the 3 dots to see the full menu choices)

Let's see if that's true.

Nope. Couldn't find it.

Not saying you're lying, but it's not available on my version of gboard.

Maybe you need to enable Glide Typing in GBoard options or another setting I have turned on.

Here's how it appears on my Galaxy S22

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well fuck me! Mine doesn't have that. Do you have a Pixel?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Samsung Galaxy S22.

What do you see in the popup menu when you long press on an editable text field, like in these comments?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I see an identical menu minus the undo. Fail. Oh well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No 3 dots you can tap on on that menu to show all the options?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yup! Three dots, but the second menu doesn't have undo either.

Galaxy S20. I saw the other post was aGalaxy series as well; maybe Samsung just has it enabled?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

It's gotta be it, man.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I'm thinking that's the case ... maybe it's a tweak to their Android text boxes. That seems like something that's got to be keyboard independent.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

The options that you see there are not dependent on your keyboard though. Change your keyboard to something else, and you still see the same options when long pressing a text field.
