Thank you for that suggestion.
I can easily understand why it's turned *off* by default!
But, it's certainly better than nothing, so I appreciate your advice!
For the default SMS app, the tripple tap, and two-finger zoom works pretty well.
You can't triple tap in the text area, so you triple tap *outside* the text area,
and, then, you often have to pan to the text area.
For some reason, the pan stinks. In practice, I can only do a one-finger
pan after doing a two-finger zoom. That puts the tool in the pan mode better
than just first trying to pan after triple tapping.
So, in the default SMS app, this works well:
a) Start your text, for example "()"
b) Then triple tap in a non-text area to zoom
c) Then pinch your fingers (just to get into pan mode easier!)
d) Then use one finger to pan
e) Then you can more easily see where to position the text
So, it's cumbersome; but it works.
Unfortunately, for Sideline, it doesn't work because of the warning that the
keyboard is unaffected. So, in Sideline, when you triple tap in the area outside
the text, the entire text is UNDER the keyboard. There is *no way* to get the
text back it seems, because you can't pan enough to get the text to be high
enough *above* the keyboard, which won't go away.
So, I can easily understand why this feature is *off* by default.
Maybe I'll learn how to use it over time, to make it actually efficient.
Thanks!
