Changing Google keyboard settings
To use a different keyboard language or change settings, tap
the Input options key, then select either Input languages or
Google keyboard settings. These settings include Auto-correction
and keyboard sounds.
Predictive text or auto correction
The Google keyboard can provide predictive text input. As you tap the
letters of a word, a selection of words are displayed above the keyboard
that continue the sequence of letters tapped, or are a close match
allowing for errors. The word list changes after every key press. If the
word you need is displayed, you can tap on it to insert it into your text.
To turn predictive text on or off with the Google keyboard, tap the Input
options
key, and then Google keyboard settings . Tap Auto correction
or Show correction suggestions and select one of the options.
Editing text
You can select and edit text in certain applications, such as text you
have entered in a text field. Selected text can be cut or copied and
later pasted within the same application, or to a different application.
Selecting text
To select text that you want to cut, copy, delete or replace:
1. Tap the text you want to select. If you can select this text, a cursor is
inserted below the text.
2. Tap and hold the text or word you want to select. The selected text is
highlighted, with a tab at each end of the selection.
3. Drag either tab to expand or reduce the amount of selected text, or
tap SELECT ALL.
4. To cut or copy the text, tap the CUT or COPY button.
Note
Certain applications may not support text selection, or only support it in certain
areas. Other applications may offer specialized commands to select text.
