Overview
- The option is arriving in Gboard version 16.0+ across both beta and stable channels, with visibility depending on device and app version.
- Separate switches for the Comma key and the Period/Full stop key appear under Gboard Settings → Preferences.
- The controls are enabled by default to keep the familiar layout unless a user chooses to hide either key.
- Disabling the keys removes them from the main row and widens the spacebar area, which can aid one‑handed use but adds steps for punctuation.
- Users can still insert punctuation via the ?123 symbols layout, and a period can be typed by double‑tapping the spacebar.
