using left-handed mode in GrapheneOS (also available in vanilla Android) bc right elbow injury, and I am so confused as to why it's buried in Developer Options and not surfaced in accessibility options or even better, in display prefs next to light/dark theming options #accessibility #Android #grapheneos

  • @jvw@musicians.today I’m left-handed, but otherwise everything stays the same, EXCEPT that the zone recognition when touching a touchscreen with a left-hand finger shouldn’t be the same as when using a right-hand finger. That way, I can use an on-screen keyboard or buttons without pressing the wrong keys or missing a control entirely or touching it incorrectly. That saves me a lot of profanity.

    @jvw@musicians.today maybe that part of the design came from the same team that decided on the word dyslexia to define reading problems... 🙄

  • @jvw@musicians.today Do you mean "Force RTL layout direction"? It exists for testing right-to-left layout without using a right-to-left language. It will thoroughly screw up the text layout for a language like English by algining all the text to the right. It moves a lot of standard buttons buttons from right to left since the position is based on the text layout direction but that's not the purpose of the feature. It will make text less readable for languages people are used to reading LTR not RTL.
