[NEWS] Android 15 will make discovering keyboard shortcuts on Galaxy Tabs easier

[phillynews215]

Most of you might not know that Android offers keyboard shortcuts. These allow you to perform various actions by pressing a combination of keys on the on-screen or physical keyboard. This feature can come in very handy on tablets, such as the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, where you can connect one to a keyboard dock and use shortcuts to increase your productivity. The OS also offers a list of shortcuts to help you know all of them.

In Android 14 (One UI 6), the list of shortcuts groups shortcuts into three categories: System, Input, and Open Apps. This makes it easier for people to discover shortcuts. However, the buttons/tabs for these categories are placed quite high on the screen, making it difficult for people to access them. Well, Google is working on fixing that with Android 15.



According to Mishaal Rahman on Android Authority, Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 has code for a new shortcuts sheet. It has category tabs on the left side of the screen, as you can see in the screenshot below. The new layout makes it easier for people to access these tabs. Interestingly, it also offers a new category, Multitasking.



However, Mishaal had to enable the new keyboard shortcuts menu manually, which means that not everyone will be able to access it at the moment. Hopefully, Google will offer this layout as standard in the stable version of Android 15. We also hope that Samsung will implement this change in One UI 7.0 for Galaxy Tabs models.
