Enable One Hand Typing On Android

Finally, you don't have to use two hands to text on an Android phablet

As the Android world awaits N, the latest version of the mobile operating system, Alphabet Inc. ’s Google released some cool new phone software as a sort of consolation: an all-new Android keyboard geared for one-handed typing.
Phablets may be great for watching video, reading email, surfing the Web and choosing the right filter for your group selfie. But these same massive displays are terrible when it comes to that all-important activity, typing.
The new Google Keyboard app, rolling out now in the Google Play app store, addresses that need. Once installed, you give a long press to the keyboard’s comma key, and up pops a green phone-in-hand icon. Slide up to it, and the keyboard squeezes over to the right. You can pin the skinnier keyboard to the left as well, so this will work for both righties and lefties.


Even though the one-handed version of the keyboard is, by design, shrunk down, it still works great with gesture typing: Sweep your fingers across keys to spell out words quickly, while keeping the phone stable in your hand.
Another nice ergonomic feature: You can adjust the keyboard’s height in the app’s settings, making it taller or shorter as needed. You can also turn on or off borders around keys—some people may want clear targets for where their fingers should land.

One hand typing is a feature that that rearranges your android keyboard and repositions the keys to fit into a one hand typing position, what this means is when one hand typing is activated on your android the keyboard is rearranged to fit in the position to type with one of your hand(your thumb) either your left hand or left, depending on what position you want it.
The one hand typing feature is especially nice and handy for those who like typing with one hand(especially myself), I prefer typing with one hand except when my scree is on landscape, but now this feature has made better.

Requirements To Enable One Hand Typing On Android

To activate you must download the Google Android Keyboard from  Android Playstore
After downloading, make the Google Android Keyboard your default keyboard.
Done with the above, open a text app, WhatsApp or any app that requires typing. Once the keyboard comes up, hold on the comma key ',' and two icons would appear above it, drag your thumb to the one on the right and the one hand typing feature has been activated.

Next is to position it to fit typing with your left hand or right hand, by default it is positioned for left hand typing, once the feature is activated tap on the arrow that appears on the bottom right to make it switch to right hand typing, same method for left hand typing.
