    Default S Pen and the back/menu button

    Love the phone, love the screen, love the s pen.......but.......one irritation, or maybe i'm missing something......

    Started my mobile journey back in the day with a series of pdas......love having and using an "onboard" stylus. so i was super psyched about the s pen. i do like using it but find it irritating that it does not work on the back button, or menu button. so i keep finding myself trying to select them with the pen and then having to shift it and select with my finger.

    anybody find a way to go back with the s pen and not the back button? a gesture or motion or such?

    Is there a gesture command that functions as a home button?

    Also to go forward you draw > after holding on the button on side of spen. You can also check out the tutorial for the spen and it shows you various commands too.
