@PN75: It isn't possible to change the position of the Keyboard button, I'm afraid. If you're finding that the Accessibility button is obscuring the Keyboard button in the Navigation bar, then you can press and hold on the Accessibility button, and swipe upwards to place it in your preferred spot. I hope this helps.

I knew about this option. Samsung can make change to display the keyboard button or accessibility button on the left side or right side of the navigation bar as per user requirement. Its a suggestion.

Hello,

 

I have the same issue where I need the accessibility button and the ability to change keyboards. Is there a workaround we can use for now? I've researched on the internet and I can't find a viable solution for my Samsung Fold and S6 Tablet.

Problem-

Currently on my Samsung fold 5 and my Samsung Galaxy s6 tablet I am not able to change my keyboard when I have the accessibility button In the bottom right corner.

Why?-

I'm often needing to change keyboards (Gboard is my default, Samsung keyboard for handwriting, and Grammarly when I'm writing longer texts and need assistance). I also have the accessibility button due to need to accessibility apps.

Just adding a potential idea. If you guys created a quick settings button that we can grab from the notifications area, then we can use that to change the on-screen keyboard.

 

There was a free app in the app store that did this, put the developer has not updated it for newer Android devices.

Great job guys... Now they changed it to the left side and I hate it. I mean, I mainly use my right hand thumb to Swype and the right side button was so convenient. Now it's a PITA. Well done folks, well done!!
