Can I also vent about the lack of undo? I consider undo one of the most essential features of any computing device. How is it still simply not supported on the most widely used computing platform?

There's nothing like the feeling after typing a whole paragraph and accidentally deleting it without any way to undo. :) Anything more than a sentence I type in a notes app because of that

On Android, undo is supported, but your keyboard has to support it. Sometimes I have to open Hacker Keyboard just I can press Ctrl+Z. There's probably a better way, but that works for the two times a year that I need it.

That's amazing, I need Hacker Keyboard apparently. All the features GBoard has and they never thought to add an undo button option?

Try tapping with three fingers to bring up a set of editing operations including undo & redo.

Seems like this is an iOS thing? I'm talking about Android.

You can shake your phone. You do look stupid, but it works.

Not on my phone. What phone does this work on? iOS? I'm talking about Android.
