    Quick question for KEYone owners:
    Is it possible to disable keyboard as trackpad (and use keyboard just for typing)?
    I used PRIV for few months before selling it, and remember having this option.
    Is it still present in KEYone? Can somebody screenshoot it?
    Thanks.

    It is possible to disable that feature. I did disable it on my KEYone because since it's keyboard is exposed all the time I need it's area to grab the phone and don't want to accidentally perform an action.

    Thank you for quick response.
    Exactly what I was thinking, same reasons you mentioned in your post, I like to grab phone by keybord, at least I was doing like that on Priv and Classic.
    BTW, when you disable keyboard as trackpad in menus/webpages, I'm guessing it also automatically disables "swipes for selecting words", "backspace swipes for deleting words" and other gesture inputs during text input?

    Yeah I might have to disable this too, I have a few occasions where I've rested my fingers on the keyboard and its started the phone scrolling.

    You guys mean this right?

    It will not let you use the swipe gestures on the keyboard.
    So all features like below will be gone:
    * swipe to delete
    * swipe to pick suggestions
    * double tab and swipe for cursor mode
    * shift + selection of text

    Perhaps more. I am already used to swiping gestures. I have no issues with the keyboard always exposed. I guess I had used BlackBerry Passport before and that helps.

    Any way, you can turn it off if you want to.
