Hi. I'm loving using Dex with my s24 ultra but I've got a question as regards Gboard and especially the toolbar. 

When I am typing in Dex the keyboard shows up on my phone and not on the separate monitor. If I want to paste something from my clipboard, I have to use my phone screen. How do I access the clipboard direct from the secondary monitor? I'm using Google Gboard, do I have to use Samsung keyboard instead for this? Any tips or suggestions would be most welcomen

Thanks!

Hi @PGibby how are you using Dex, with a Monitor wired or Wireless and assuming you are not using external peripherals (keyboard, mouse) just the S24 DeX as a touch pad?

Hi. I'm using it wireless - USB C to Uperfect touchscreen monitor. I'm also using a Bluetooth keyboard (Logitech pebble). Not using a mouse as monitor is touchscreen.
Thanks

Thanks.

Sorry using my laptop at the moment, so can't check DeX, but if you try checking the DeX settings whilst plugged in for keyboard and also in the bottom right there are also some keyboard settings.

That said I assume DeX doesn't play well with GBoard.

I've tried using Samsung keyboard as well but it's the same - on-screen keyboard is open on my phone not the monitor.

If you use Samsung keyboard, search in setting for "On-screen keyboard location" and change it to "TV or monitor" instead of phone
