When you want to delete multiple words:

  • Swipe left from the delete key (tap and swipe) and all the words will start highlighting.
  • Once the required words are highlighted, raise your finger from the screen and they will be deleted.
  • In the portrait mode, a single swipe usually allows you to delete 5-8 words. You can quickly swipe multiple times to delete more words.

With G-board, you can type in multiple languages without needing to switch between them. You just need to specify the languages you want to use.

For example, if you like typing in English and Spanish simultaneously, then whenever you will enter a Spanish word while typing English, it will start predicting Spanish words. However, you will have to manually switch between keyboards if the second language is very different from the primary, such as English and Arabic.

To specify the languages you want to use:

  • Tap on the “G button” and then tap on the “Gear” icon to access G-board settings.
  • Here tap on “Languages” and you will see all the supported languages (over 120).
  • Tap the button next to the ones you want to use to enable them.
