Lenovo tab M8 hide keyboard arrow's position - Thinkpad Tablet General

Hi,
I bout Lenovo tb300fu tab and althout I love it, typing on it has become a daily frustration. The downward arrow that appears to hide the keyboard gets tapped accidently and consistently so. When the tablet is held in portrait orientation, the palm's inside surface lands exactly above the arrow and causes taps if the hand is relaxed as it should be. The screen is too near
To the edges and the UI geniuses at lenovo didn't notice that the palm can tap and hide the keyboard while typing. Is there a way to remove or move this arrow to the middle . I tried the floating keyboard but the arrow still stays at the lower left corner. It is killing me . Please help.
Thnx

[APP] HaaliReader for touch screen

I'm big fan of HaaliReader, but I don't like how it behaves on my Touch Pro2.
So I have created a build for touch screen control.
May be someone will appreciate...
Changes compared to the original:
Sweep finger up and down to scroll pages
Sweep finger left right to move among chapters/sections
Tap long to popup menu
Doubleclick to activate full creen
Dictionary - the search is from the popup menu
Dictionary - when active, left or right sweep will return to the previous position
FullScreen mode - tapping right bottom corner performs page down
FullScreen mode - tapping right top corner will quit full screen
I must just note, that I'm really not a C++ or WM developer. It was just my try and tested only on my phones. Any feedback is appreciated.
Seems to work fine on the Fuze - cool app.

TIP: Left- or right-handed unlock

Today I noticed the lock on the X10 is changeable. Basic setting is dragging from left bottom to right middle, but if you prefer from right bottom to left middle (since you’re left-handed or you prefer it for some reason) this is how to get it fixed.
1. Lock your phone
2. Put your finger on the end of the swipe bar (right-middle part of the screen)
3. Drag the bar to the left
4. Release the bar
5. All done.
Now your phone-unlock is left-hand-proof
Thanks for the TIP, i mustav accidentally changed the settings and it was eating me up for days.
Wow, that's a cool feature. Nothing I'll use myself but it works a treat and SE even made it look nice when switching.
Thanks for the guide.

[Q] trackpad

After the recent update the trackpad has reverted to its original setting, I must admit I preferred the trackpad mirroring finger use on the screen moving your fingers upwards to push the screen upwards, and swiping down to move the screen down has on the screen. Getting rid of the flakey pinch to zoom, and the option to use mouse pointer instead of gesture pointer is welcome. Keyboard lag greatly reduced.
I am pretty sure the gestures have been reverted back to save any backlash from apple, My Macbook pro pushes the screen up using upward motion on the trackpad, also the physical design of the keyboard dock from above closely mirrors the MBP.
Is there an option to use the trackpad in either direction as I cannot see one in settings?

I'm not sure if it affects the scrolling direction, but there is an option under Keyboard & Input to change the mouse pointer. I'd play with that.
Yes done that and changed mouse pointer back to arrow instead of circle. There is no option for track pad screen movement.
appologies your right, just have to live with the circle curser in gesture mode

[Q] Lefthand options bar, and right hand multitasking

So I was wondering, how can one configure the lefthand and righthand menus to pop up faster, and without going into the corner of the screen? Ideally, I want to be able to touch anywhere on the screen edge to activate those menus. And if at all possible, I'd like to move the multitasking UI to the top of the screen instead of on the left. Thanks =]
Wouldn't it get in the way if all you had to do was move the mouse to the edge of the screen? Scroll bars would be pretty impossible to use...
I don't really have any problems with its speed. Do you know that if you move the cursor to a corner and directly up/down, the Charms/Multitasking bar will appear almost instantly? It doesn't wait for you, if you're quick.

[GUIDE] Use Gesture Controls to avoid having to use Physical Buttons

If you're like me and you don't really like the soft-keys, you should also like this workaround. So I absolutely dislike having to press the physical home button especially since I'm coming from a history of Nexus devices and the fact that it throws off the balance of the device annoys me. (Yes, I know it's an extremely shallow problem haha)
My workaround was to use on-screen buttons. However, the screen is already 5 inches so I didn't want to use any screen real estate for buttons. Came across an app called All-In-One Gestures that lets you create gesture actions. If it's something that sounds interesting to you, you should give it a try as it makes navigating much more intuitive (opinion, of course).
My setup is currently a swipe up from the bottom of the screen in the middle for home, swipe diagonally from the left edge for back, and swipe diagonally from the right for multitasking. So if I'm using it left handed, a swipe will go back and a touch of the closest button will be multitasking, and if I'm using it right handed, a swipe will open the multitasking tray while a touch to the closest button will go back. It's proven really efficient for me!

There is also an option for an on screen button(s) under settings >accessibility >dexterity and interaction>assistant menu. It sits as an button over the top of everything on screen and you can edit it to set different options and order of buttons. It might not have the gesture option but still pretty useful.

One more alternative, fingerprint sensor as touch home key.

There's a reason why the S7 didn't come with Soft-Keys, it's because it uses an AMOLED Panel. Prolonged display of bright colors causes burn in, ( you can try checking the S7s at the retail store as those have burned in displays ). Hardware keys would be better to avoid this. Its also the reason why the objects on the Always On Display move around every now and then, its to preven't burnins

1. Easyhome doesnt causes amoled burn-in.
Fingerprint sensor short touch is registered as home key.
Once again, fingerprint sensor.
2. Method described in OP is also burn-in free, in settings is possible to adjust transparency of "home area" to zero, therefore no object is permanently displayed.
