Quick Start Video in using Gesture Delete of Google's Gboard Stock Keyboard for Android

There are a plethora of useful and interesting shortcuts for Google's Gboard — the default "stock" keyboard for Android as a platform — that can save you time and make text inputting easier, more efficient, and effective. And chances are, you're unaware that the majority of them exist.

Let's admit it, we're all likely to make mistakes. With Gboard, you can easily delete an error or anything your better judgement tells you not to say, making deletion simple with a flick of your finger.

A typical standard keyboard you can delete only one letter each time delete key is pressed and it will be a daunting task if you want to delete many words. Gboard gesture delete allows you to delete words instead of letters. Simply slide your finger left from erase key and blocks of words gets selected for deleting. Gesture delete works in all languages and keyboard layouts.

Simply tap the gear-shaped icon in Google's Gboard Android Keyboard upper row (or, if you don't see that icon, tap the three-dot menu icon in that same area and then find the gear icon in the larger menu that appears). Select "Glide typing" from the keyboard's settings and make sure the toggle next to "Enable gesture delete" is turned on.
