One-handed mode

One-handed mode makes the keyboard narrower, about four fifths of the screen's width, and puts it against the left or the right edge. One thumb then reaches every key. It is free.

Turn it on​

There are two ways:

  • On the keyboard: hold ☺ or ?123, the half keys at the two ends of the middle row. Three choices open above your finger. Slide left to move the keyboard to the left, or right to move it to the right, and lift. If you lift without sliding, the key does what a tap does.
  • In settings: open Flikzi, Keyboard, One-handed mode, and choose Left or Right.

Flikzi remembers the side until you change it.

Flip sides or go back​

Two keys stand in the room beside the narrow keyboard:

  • the upper one, a keyboard filled edge to edge, puts the keyboard back to full width,
  • the lower one moves it to the other side.

They only answer to a clean tap on the key itself. A thumb that lands beside the keyboard by mistake moves nothing and types nothing.

You can also hold ☺ or ?123 again: the cell for the side the keyboard is on now puts it back to full width.

Where it works​

One-handed mode is for phones held upright. On wide screens (an unfolded foldable, a tablet, a phone in landscape) Flikzi keeps its usual keyboard there, and splits in two with Flikzi Pro. Your one-handed choice comes back when the screen is narrow again.
