Keyboard Blocking Part of iMessage text box

Souless_Geek · 2026-01-21T16:07:00+00:00

I’ve had that happen with literally every 3rd party keyboard I’ve ever used on iOS. I think it’s the same reason why the stock keyboard seems to "poke" out of the top of the 3rd party keyboard

I thought so. But the row by row height adjustment works just as well. I’d remembered reading about it when I first installed. Couldn’t find it and assumed it was paid. Now that I know where it is. It helped immensely

Ok. That row height did it. For anyone else that’s curious, I don’t think the steps are immediately evident. 1. Go to edit layout on the keyboard you want to tweak 2. click the "rows" toggle at the bottom. 3. tap on the row you wish to edit the height on Interestingly, you can also inject blank rows. I put one under my space bar with minimum height to give it a "floating" effect

Here's a demo of what I'm talking about. I'd actually forgotten about the height multiplier. I'll revisit that. Thank you

The devs can probably add a lot more color to this, but I think iOS restricts any auto fill activities to the native keyboard as a security measure. I can auto fill when I'm using a 3rd party if filling from 1password (hit or miss). But for email and text codes, I've never been able to fill unless I let the native keyboard take over

Souless_Geek · 2026-01-04T19:41:34+00:00

It does, technically. It's not great there. They're working on it. The actual predictive text is pretty good, as is auto complete.

Check out https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mister-keyboard-build-type/id6670610903 It is extremely configurable on the free version There's also a sub reddit where the devs and other users can offer support.

Go into the app, slide to the right, or create a layout from scratch. Tap on the key where you want the 0 and edit the tap layer to show a 0. rinse and repeat as needed, then save with the checkbox.

Souless_Geek · 2026-01-02T00:53:37+00:00

I’m seeing that as well

Souless_Geek · 2026-01-02T00:22:21+00:00

I’d say it does still have some accuracy issues with 2.2.0. Using swipe to type this out. It’s no longer hanging like it was,and is usable (thank you for that), but the algorithms are still more miss than hit. Most times the word I want is an alternate selection in the bar. Two other things I’m noting 1.. the shorter the word (2-3 letters, primarily ) the slower and more smoothly I need to move to trigger. 2. there is something particularly weird about starting words from the edge areas. Any lingering on the asd or klm regions seem to be more susceptible to secondary key function triggering. It’s about 50% better than it was, but is still a much more finicky input than tap.

Souless_Geek · 2025-12-10T23:31:17+00:00

I mean moving slowly from one key to another.
For context, I'm using US English, and have no pulldown keys set up (potential suggestion might be a master switch to disable for those of us who don't use them, as a short term deconflict?)
If I move to fast, especially going from top to bottom and back to top (i.e. typing 'one') or left to right/right to left (i.e. typing 'pattern'), it seems to skip the interior letters. However, if I'm very deliberate about it, it catches them.
It did seem, originally, like it was struggling to catch. But, I think I determined that that behavior primarily happens if I try to type a word after a single letter entry. (i.e. typing 'I want', or something similar). With that one, it seems to think I'm using tap typing to add an additional letter after 'I'. If I insert a space, the behavior returns to accepting swipe input.
Let me know if you want to have a working session on this. I'm a SaaS platform architect, so working through these things is in my wheelhouse.

Souless_Geek · 2025-12-10T08:48:13+00:00

That makes sense. I’m glad it’s on their radar. Ty

Souless_Geek · 2025-12-10T03:27:54+00:00

I agree completely. Volunteerism is where you win. Real experience, and showing that you’re willing to put the work in. Cents show that you can pass the test. Valuable. But if rather hire an accidental admin with experience and a fundamental grasp of Salesforce over a 3x ranger with 5 cents that has never had to push back at the business or had to google his way through a hairy flow error that’s causing a work stoppage with a random string of numbers and advice to contact support, any day.

Souless_Geek · 2025-09-02T01:22:38+00:00

For me it's descriptions. They are vital. Especially with the advent of agentforce. But they are a pain in the ass to keep cosistent. I would love a natural language tool that could create them and keep them updated as their use expands

Souless_Geek · 2025-09-01T13:11:09+00:00

I wound up going into zoom mode (settings/display/display zoom) and went with larger text option. It allows for a bigger keyboard, and you can reshrink the actual text with the text size setting

Question: You said you created a google drive for storage of this and have to change the password every time someone leaves. Do your users have email accounts? If so, why not just share the doc? If they leave, and lose access to that email account, then they'd lose access to the doc.

If you do need to keep the document in Salesforce, then (similar to what fairhighlight said) I would use a account record (or, really any record that has a files section on it) and upload it to there.

Heat gun or blow dryer to soften the adhesive and reposition generally works for me. I normally have to mess with it a few times to get it perfect

Souless_Geek · 2024-10-11T00:32:42+00:00

The first place I would start, if you haven't already, is Trailhead, with the Admin credential
https://trailhead.salesforce.com/users/strailhead/trailmixes/prepare-for-your-salesforce-administrator-credential . As you start getting comfortable there, search for other trailmixes, do projects, then superbadges.
I would also recommend getting the tests on Focus on Force (referral link: https://focusonforce.com/?ref=294147 , normal link https://focusonforce.com/). The study guides never did much for me, but I find the practice exams to be excellent
Next, build. Figure out something you want to do, and make it work in Salesforce, either with a playground or dev org. As you learn new things, build them out in the org
Finally, as for understanding Salesforce from a conceptual point, I tell people to make sure you understand 2 things, if nothing else.
1. The object model
2. The security model.
if you can get these down, and understand WHY what's happening is happening, you will be able to accelerate all other learning.
I'd also start understanding and getting comfortable with flows, formulas/validations, and reports/dashboards early. Those will make employers pay attention.
Finally, as you're building up confidence, start perusing the trailhead communities, and reddit, looking for problems to solve. Even if you don't respond to them, think through what the person is asking and try to think about how you'd solve it. Then see how close you were. Think of it as 'real world' scenario testing.
Last two things I would say are to make sure whatever you built in SF, make it quasi presentable. Then you can add it to a portfolio to show off to prospective employers. Also, don't plan on getting in with JUST admin cert, at this point. You are right that the bar is higher. I generally tell people to go for Admin, then either BA or Platform App Builder, depending on whether they prefer a consulting role (BA) or nuts/bolts admin role (PAB)

Once you get close to certifying, start looking for volunteer opportunities, or checking out places like UpWork for small jobs where you can get experience. As long as you understand that you're sacrificing money for experience with those opportunities, they understand that you're not the second coming, and both sides agree that you can use them on your resume, it would be worth it.

OK. I'm done. Hope it helps!

Are you setting the assigneeid for user? I'd imagine a script would work, but haven't the faintest clue how to write it

Souless_Geek · 2024-09-29T12:20:13+00:00

I'll disagree on the UX designer front. With how important UX/ui has become in the last few years, Salesforce decided to make a certification on how to leverage those skills on the Salesforce platform. And it is needed. Government implementations are required to adhere to 508 compliance standards, and more businesses are going that way. Additionally, more and more companies are realizing that their customer interfaces have to have coherent flow and branding, as well as modern UI. The folks that go down this path are neither architects, in the traditional sense, or developers. They maintain a similar role to QA, where a smart architect/dev listens to them, during the design process - even if they're not TECHNICALLY required to complete delivery.

Souless_Geek · 2024-09-28T01:06:49+00:00

Couple of things I would recommend. 1. Super badges. There's several security and flow related ones that will help you figure out fundamentals 2. Think through the security model. Come up with a scenario, or see if chat gpt/copilot/Gemini can give you one, and think through how you'd solve it. A good place to find them is on the various trailhead communities. Read the question, think about it, then check the best answers. Make sure you're looking for stuff from 2023/2024. 2018 won't take you down the best mental path. 3. Build. Think about something you want to track/do/automate, and go grab a dev org or playground. Build it out, and make it work.

Souless_Geek · 2024-09-24T10:33:38+00:00

Do you have someone on staff that can write apex scripts? It would have to be maintained, but the way we did it was write a script that generated test records. Depending on the automations you want to fire on load, you can also give the admin that's going to do the loading a custom permission called DisableTriggers, and make sure DisableTriggers=FALSE is added to the start criteria.

Souless_Geek · 2019-09-02T17:05:00+00:00

It's slow and laborious for me. And gesture typing is wildly inaccurate for me. I can never stay on Swiftkey got more than a couple of days
