I think for fast typers UT's keyboard definitely would feel slower and I guess it also depends on the device and port. There are optimizations and improvements that can be done.
At the moment, autocorrect isn't recommended because it kinda suck You can still use word suggestions though which can be helpful.

@RJDan Oh okay. I guess you're on Noble and only the Essentials version is available for now The full version is available from the repo but it will be released in Ambot soon

It's recommended to install the correct Android version before flashing UT. This is to avoid unexpected issues.

In my experience on both FP4 and FP5, fingerprint reader may not work initially so you'll have to reinstall Android and reflash UT.

@RJDan You mean in Lomiri Plus?
It's under Convergence > External Display.
The settings can be accessed via the Power/System Indicator Panel.

@RJDan Interesting. I guess if the hardware supports this then it could work in UT. I wonder if Android phones could do this.

In UT however, single monitor might be the default behavior on phones and tablets. In Lomiri Plus via Ambot Installer, there's an option to use multi-display mode if you really want to try. I don't know if it'll work though and how well it'll work. The device screen will be a normal screen In this mode by the way, it won't be a touchpad.

@Alain This featute isn't in UT/Lomiri yet. Simplest way is to make something like a home screen app and there are some that exists already like Launcher Modular. Not sure they have app groups though. You can contribute to them if you don't want to make your own. However, they obviously act like a normal app. Best you can do is pin it to the Launcher for easy access.

Or you can contribute to Lomiri and implement it in the App drawer which definitely needs some love
There's even a bounty for it so there's money to get

@gpatel-fr That won't help in my case. My issue is that I'm used to flicking quickly when switching between two apps and that doesn't work well on the FP5

Unfortunately, this is not yet possible. Something like this was developed by Canonical but it wasn't finished so it was removed. So far now one has implemented it yet although there's a bounty for it now.

@fair FP4 actually has the one of the most responsive edge gestures in my expert. FP5 on the other hand is less responsive because it seems like it has an accidental touch algorithm that rejects quick short swipe from the edges. While on FP4, your swipe reacts to your swipe almost instantaneously. I wonder why you have a hard time. Perhaps you use a case which might make ot harder to reach the very edge or maybe the phone is just to big for one hand use?

In any case, I think a floating button isn't a bad idea for an accessibility feature. However, there are things you listed that might not be possible or at least not easily. For example, showing the keyboard cannot be a toggle because the onscreen keyboard shows up based on context such as a texbox being in focus. I guess there might be a workaround like utilizing the logic for hiding the keyboard when there's a physical keyboard connected.

Another thing is that back action concept doesn't exists in UT or in Linux systems in general. So I doubt you can have something that would work for everything. Even Plasma Mobile which mimics Android's bottom navigation bar doesn't have a back button. This one might be the trickiest thing to solve.

So in summary, it's possible to do it for some functions like opening the app drawer or app spread/switcher but other things wouldn't be simple.

If you're interested, you can try some of my hacks that makes UT easier to use one hand. Ambot Installer is available on OpenStore and you can use it to install my hacks. It's already available on Noble however my biggest hack called Lomiri Plus isn't available yet, at least via Ambot.

The hacks I have are mostly gestures though so you might not like it too
For example, you swipe down on the edges to pull down the whole shell so you can reach UI elements at the top. You can also do horizontal swipes at the bottom edge in apps to trigger the back button or even any if the page header actions. I also have what I call Quick Actions which can triggered via a swipe from the bottom of the left or right edge. Here you can have actions similar to what you mentioned and you can also add apps there.

This is awesome! Can't wait for the future of Lomiri

@Equareo Well not sure if there are other people who had it It's related to VoLTE anyway.

@peat_psuwit It's probably worth noting too that VoLTE also starts to work on some devices like the FP4.

I think this is a recent issue on the installer. I believe it defaults to stable before.

@Moktrull Yeah, sadly there's not much tablet choices for UT. I also like a tablet and for now, Lenovo M10 HD is my only option

To be fair, this is a valid concern. I wonder if it's a good idea to notify users when an app update changes or adds new apparmor policy in the new version.

@Moem Oh okay.
Then I'm just commenting in general context of snaps
For example, you can also do this with telegram. It even has a scaling setting to make it more usable on the phone. It also doesn't show the OSK though

@Moktrull x306x (mobile) or x306f (wifi only) are the supported ones. Make sure they are the variant with 3 or 4GB RAM.
And yep, Lenovo names are confusing LOL

In any case, I wouldn't expect much from these tablets They are kind of on the low end. I mean the screen is HD and you can easily see the pixels .
You may also encounter some annoying bugs that I don't think is fixed even on Mole such as the device waking up randonly or not sleeping until you press the power button again.

Yeah, snap is now preinstalled on 24.04 Noble.
We really need new Mir to get better Wayland/Xwayland support. Flatpak would also be cool and we'll be able to use desktop apps or apps in other mobile Linux distros. Nix can also be used with Crackle.

@NotZaney Are you using Lomiri toolkit? You might need to use Style. Check from docs if there's one for the button.

In any case, you can actually make your own component in QML if you want to customize the contents of the button. Just put it in a separate QML file.

@O.o. It's always recommended to install stock Android and the correct version before installing Ubuntu Touch. Fairphone provides a script or instructions for this so it's quite easy to do.
