A shake to undo gesture would be nice.

I do not want motion controls on my phone

I had an iPhone with that ages ago and it was so annoying when in a car or on a train

No, on iOS Apple can fine tune it because they only have an handful of phones to support. On Android they can’t, and “one setting for all” will lead to a disaster experience like “everything gets deleted while typing in a bus” because the phone thinks you’re shaking to undo

As long as it’s possible to turn off the shake and do it with a button. Motion controls are not accessibility friendly.

some Android OSKs have Ctrl button, like Unexpected Keyboard (it’s FOSS), it’s also my choice.

downside, there is absolutely no dictionary and autocorrect but it’s absolutely marvelous, have all the keys and pretty configurable. has a bit of learning curve, since you swipe on keys to access more keys rather holding it down but this makes it powerful IMO

That sounds like a lot of struggle over something the predictive text bar already does ? In my experience when you delete a word, or a whole sentence, it’ll be the only suggestions from the predictive bar at the top of the keyboard. Tap that suggestion and you get your stuff back.

But yeah type another letter and you are fucked…

Samsung’s keyboard has a CTRL key on their Tab line. Not sure if that extends to foldables.
