Keyboard button down change to left

[Alex Hobson1]

How do I change the keyboard button to hide keyboard from down to left

It like it facing left not down

How do you mean? The down arrow to the left side?

I don't believe you can change the direction of that arrow, since it's hard coded into the system.

it's the one on the bottom right next to the circle with dot in the middle

Unless I’m mistaken, those are the screen navigation buttons, with the triangle rotating when the keyboard is open, and tappable to close the keyboard. To change the layout, you’d have to mirror the two outer buttons in Settings, Home Screen, or wherever it would be on that phone.

The option to use gestures instead of buttons is probably also there.

Settings - Home Screen - System Navigation - Mirror Buttons
(on any Xiaomi afaik)

i just want it facing to the left like it normally does when not using the keyboard

The OP's issue is that when the keyboard is showing, the Back arrow turns into an arrow pointing down (meaning that tapping it makes the keyboard go down, i.e. go away).

 

[Alex Hobson1]

so is there anyway to change it

 

[B. Diddy]

No, I mentioned previously that I think it's hard-coded into the OS.

Adding a virtual Back button may help, since that may have only the back function, rather than the hide-keyboard function. Look in the Play Store for suitable apps.
