Clench281 09/08/20 2:42:17 PM #1:	I'm specifically talking about Android gesture navigation, but I'd probably agree that iOS gesture nav is equally bad. Throwing away a dedicated back button just to have a few for millimeters of space at the bottom of your screen is insane. The 'swipe left on the gesture bar' to effectively alt-tab between apps is much worse than double tapping the square icon. Unrelated issue, but gfaqs on my pixel suddenly started doing this awful thing where the return key closes the keyboard. So trying to start a new paragraph is like (return) (keyboard closes, tap on text box) , (return) (keyboard closes, tap on text box), (start typing new paragraph) --- Take me for what I am -- who I was meant to be. And if you give a damn, take me baby, or leave me. <cite>Clench281 posted [p:944361089] in gesture na...
