Google键盘Gboard的下载量超过 10 亿次，是Google下载次数最多的应用程序之一。它预装在几乎所有的Android设备上，iOS 用户可以从App Store下载它。
虽然它被公认为最好的键盘之一，但Gboard包含一些您可能永远不会有机地遇到的隐藏功能。我们将通过实施以下Gboard提示和技巧向您展示如何成为Gboard高级用户。(Gboard)
如何访问 Gboard 设置
要启用其中许多功能，您需要访问 Gboard 的设置。您可以通过长按逗号键并点击齿轮图标来快速进入设置。
好的(Okay)，既然您知道 Gboard 的设置在哪里，那么让我们回顾一下这个方便的小键盘的一些鲜为人知的功能。
1. 更轻松地移动光标
返回编辑您已经输入的文本可能会令人沮丧，因为将光标定位在您需要的位置是一项精确操作。
幸运的是，Gboard 的空格键可以用作左右移动的触控板。点击(Tap)您要编辑的行中的某个位置，然后在空格键上左右移动手指，直到光标正好位于您想要的位置。
如果这不适合您，Gboard提供了另一种实现精确光标控制的方法。寻找看起来像大写字母 I 前后带有箭头的图标。当您点击该图标时，您将看到下面屏幕截图右半部分中的所有选项，让您可以轻松浏览文本。
2.切换语言
对于使用不同语言输入的用户，Gboard提供了数百种特定语言的键盘布局供您添加。导航(Navigate)到Gboard的设置并点击语言(Languages)。选择添加键盘(Add Keyboard)按钮并搜索您要添加的语言。
在Gboard(Gboard)中拥有多个键盘后，您可以长按空格键在它们之间快速切换，或者通过点击空格键左侧的地球图标来循环切换键盘。
3.使用语音输入
语音(Voice)输入可以节省大量时间。真正的诀窍是记住使用它。点击麦克风图标，随心所欲地听写。
如果您没有看到麦克风图标，它可能直接集成到您正在使用的应用程序中，而不是Gboard键盘上。例如，在Android上的(Android)Google 搜索(Google Search)应用中，麦克风图标位于搜索字段本身的右侧。
4. 将单词添加到您的个人词典(Personal Dictionary)
有没有你(Are)发现自己经常需要输入的词——即使你一直在使用它们也不会作为建议出现的词？不要害怕(Fear)，你可以解决这个问题。
访问 Gboard 的设置，选择词典(Dictionary )>个人词典(Personal Dictionary )> [要添加单词的键盘]，然后点击加号图标(plus icon)添加单词。现在，当您开始键入时，该词将显示为建议。请务必添加您经常键入的任何电子邮件地址。
5.创建智能替代品
请注意(Notice)，在上面的屏幕截图中，当您将单词添加到个人词典时，您还可以添加快捷方式。当您键入快捷方式时，Gboard会提供完整的单词或短语作为建议。
例如，如果您为家庭成员提供大量技术支持，您可能会发现自己建议重新启动计算机可能会解决问题。在下面的屏幕截图中，我们创建了一个快捷方式mq（妈妈的问题）。当我们输入mq时，Gboard 会(Gboard)提示：“您尝试过重新启动计算机吗？” 哈！
这是另一个快捷方式提示：为您的所有(Here’s another shortcut tip: )电子邮件地址(email addresses)创建@快捷方式。为您的主要电子邮件地址创建快捷方式 @，当您键入 @ 时，它将在Gboard中显示为建议。为您的第二个电子邮件地址提供快捷方式@@。为您的第三个电子邮件地址提供快捷方式@@@，依此类推。这是一种输入您想要的任何电子邮件地址的超级快捷方式，而无需输入整个内容。
6.标点符号后启用自动空格
在大多数应用中，Gboard会在您输入句点后自动添加一个空格。（一个例外是在网络浏览器中，因为您通常不希望URL中的句点后有空格。）此外，如果您点击空格键两次，Gboard将键入句点后跟一个空格，因此您都可以设置为开始输入下一个句子。
但是，除非您特别要求，否则Gboard不会在其他(other )标点符号之后自动添加空格。转到设置(Settings )>文本更正(Text correction )>标点符号后(Autospace after punctuation)的自动空格，然后打开该选项。
7. 从 Gboard 获取您的 GIF
仅当您仅安装了一种键盘语言时，此选项才有效，因为它将提示(Tip)#2 中描述的地球键（也称为语言切换键）替换为表情符号(emoji)键。首先(First)，打开 Gboard 的设置并选择Preferences。查看Keys部分并打开标记为Show emoji switch key的选项。
启用该选项后，您会在空格键的左侧看到一个表情符号键。点击表情符号键可快速访问您的所有表情符号、贴纸和GIF(GIFs)。
8. 更快地访问标点
您花了多少时间在键盘上搜索特定的符号键？最严重的违规者之一是 % 符号。首先(First)，您必须点击?123键。然后你必须点击= \ <键。只有这样您才能访问百分号。太烦人了 。(Way)
这里有一个更好的方法：长按句号键，您将可以直接访问 16 个常见的标点符号和符号，包括 % 符号。
9. 将剪辑固定到剪贴板
Gboard 的剪贴板越来越好。点击更多(More )图标（三个点/省略号），然后选择剪贴板(Clipboard)。通过点击切换(toggle )图标打开剪贴板。Gboard剪贴板(Clipboard)最好的部分是固定剪辑的能力。您复制的任何内容都会在 Gboard 的剪贴板中保存一小时，然后才会被删除。
但是，您可以固定(pin )您的剪辑，Gboard在您取消固定之前不会删除它。随时点击更多(More)图标并选择剪贴板以访问您固定的剪辑。(Clipboard )点击剪辑以将其粘贴到文本框中。
您可以固定多个项目，使此功能更加有用。长按剪辑以将其粘贴、固定或从剪贴板中删除。
10. 即时翻译
我们最后的Gboard提示可帮助您在将文本翻译成其他语言时跳过一三步。Gboard无需前往翻译网站或应用程序(translation website or app)来翻译您的文本、复制翻译内容并将其粘贴到您需要的位置，而是将这一过程简化为更少的步骤。首先，在(First)Gboard中选择更多(More)（三个点/省略号）图标。接下来(Next)，选择翻译(Translate)。
现在您可以输入您的母语并选择您希望将文本翻译成的语言。谷歌翻译(Google Translate)会自动在文本框中输入翻译。

10 Gboard Tips and Tricks to Improve Mobile Typing
With oνer a billion downloadѕ, Gboard, the Google keyboard, is one of Google’s most-downloaded apps. It’s pre-installed on almost every Android device, and iOS users can download it from the App Store.
While it’s rightfully known as one of the best keyboards out there, Gboard includes several hidden features that you might never come across organically. We’ll show you how to become a Gboard power user by implementing the Gboard tips and tricks below.
How to Access Gboard Settings
To enable many of these features, you’ll need to access Gboard’s settings. You can quickly get to Settings by long-pressing the comma key and tapping the gear icon.
Okay, now that you know where Gboard’s settings are, let’s review some little-known features of this handy little keyboard.
1. Move the Cursor More Easily
Going back to edit text you’ve already typed can be frustrating as positioning the cursor right where you need it to be is a precision operation.
Fortunately, Gboard’s spacebar can be used like a trackpad for left-right movement. Tap somewhere in the line you want to edit, and then move your finger left and right across the spacebar until the cursor is exactly where you want it.
If that’s not doing it for you, Gboard offers another way to achieve precise cursor control. Look for the icon that looks like a capital I with arrows before and after it. When you tap that icon, you’ll see all the options as in the right half of the screenshot below, allowing you to navigate through your text with ease.
2. Switch Language
For people who type in different languages, Gboard has hundreds of language-specific keyboard layouts that you can add. Navigate to Gboard’s settings and tap Languages. Select the Add Keyboard button and search for the language you want to add.
Once you have multiple keyboards in Gboard, you can long-press the spacebar to quickly switch between them or cycle through keyboards by tapping the globe icon to the left of the spacebar.
3. Use Voice Typing
Voice typing is a huge time-saver. The real trick is remembering to use it. Tap the microphone icon and dictate to your heart’s content.
If you don’t see the microphone icon, it might be integrated directly into the app you’re using instead of on the Gboard keyboard. For example, in the Google Search app on Android, the microphone icon is to the right of the search field itself.
4. Add Words to Your Personal Dictionary
Are there words you find yourself constantly having to type—words that just don’t ever appear as suggestions even though you use them all the time? Fear not, you can solve this problem.
Access Gboard’s settings, select Dictionary > Personal Dictionary > [the keyboard you want to add the word to], and then tap the plus icon to add a word. Now that word will show up as a suggestion when you start to type it. Be sure to add any email addresses you frequently type.
5. Create Smart Substitutions
Notice in the screenshot above that when you add a word to your personal dictionary, you can also add a shortcut. When you type the shortcut, Gboard will offer the full word or phrase as a suggestion.
For example, if you provide a lot of tech support for family members, you might find yourself suggesting that a computer restart might solve the problem. In the screencap below, we’ve created a shortcut, mq (mom question). When we type mq, Gboard suggests, “Have you tried restarting your computer?” Ha!
Here’s another shortcut tip: Create @ shortcuts for all your email addresses. Create the shortcut @ for your main email address, and when you type @, it will appear as a suggestion in Gboard. Give your second email address the shortcut @@. Give your third email address the shortcut @@@, and so on. It’s a super-quick way to enter whichever email address you want without having to type the whole thing out.
6. Enable Autospace After Punctuation
In most apps, Gboard will automatically add a space after you type a period. (One exception is in web browsers since you typically wouldn’t want a space after a period in a URL.) Moreover, if you tap the spacebar twice, Gboard will type a period followed by a space, so you’re all set to start typing the next sentence.
However, Gboard doesn’t automatically add a space after other punctuation marks unless you specifically ask it to. Go to Settings > Text correction > Autospace after punctuation, and toggle that option on.
7. Get Your GIFs from Gboard
This option will only work if you only have one keyboard language installed as it replaces the globe key (also known as the language switch key) described in Tip #2 with an emoji key. First, open Gboard’s settings and select Preferences. Look in the Keys section and toggle on the option labeled Show emoji switch key.
With that option enabled, you’ll see an emoji key to the left of the spacebar. Tap the emoji key for quick access to all your emojis, stickers, and GIFs.
8. Access Punctuation Faster
How much time have you spent searching for a particular symbol key in the keyboard? One of the worst offenders is the % symbol. First you have to tap the ?123 key. Then you have to tap the = \ < key. Only then do you have access to the percent sign. Way too annoying.
Here’s a better way: Long-press the period key, and you’ll get direct access to sixteen common punctuation marks and symbols, including the % sign.
9. Pin Clips to the Clipboard
Gboard’s clipboard keeps getting better and better. Tap the More icon (three dots/ellipsis) and then select Clipboard. Turn on Clipboard by tapping the toggle icon. The best part of Gboard’s Clipboard is the ability to pin clips. Anything you copy is saved to Gboard’s clipboard for one hour before it is deleted.
However, you can pin your clip, and Gboard won’t delete it until you unpin it. Tap the More icon and select Clipboard at any time to get access to your pinned clips. Tap a clip to paste it into the text box.
You can pin multiple items, making this feature extra useful. Long-press a clip to paste, pin, or delete it from the clipboard.
10. Translate on the Fly
Our last Gboard tip helps you skip a step or three when translating text to a different language. Rather than going to a translation website or app to translate your text, copying the translation, and pasting it where you need it, Gboard collapses that process into fewer steps. First, select the More (three dots/ellipsis) icon in Gboard. Next, select Translate.
Now you can type in your native language and select the language you want your text to be translated into. Google Translate will automatically enter the translation into the text box.
