Home Button and search feature - Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers

Hi, is it possibile to link the long pressure on home button to the action to open a duckduckgo search? I'm on Miui 9 (globerom on Mi5), i know that under Nova Launcher there's this feature that i find very useful.
Thanks
Marco

Go to applications, menu, edit. Then you can drag icons on and off.

Hi I try it ....appear switch double tap I activate it but not work...I tap two times on the screen but nothing happen..
Not exactly what OP is requesting, but I find "Gravity Screen" app a pretty good alternative to ease the process of locking and unlocking the phone.
I want to know too....

That's double tap to switch screen off. Double tap to wake is the opposite. I miss it too it's so much easier. Or wave to wake too..

EMUI 9 Gestures sucks?

I was ao excited for Android 9 but right after updating to EMUI 9, I was disappointed to see how pathetic and useless is back button gestures, especially when you are on a keyboard screen. Is it just me or you guys think so too?
1) it is difficult to get used to this stupif "back" gesture.
2) it is slow.
3) No quick switching between 2 apps instantly?
Will they fix it in future updates or we are stuck with this forever?
I have to agree on this issue. Gestures on EMUI 9 are really bad. I've stayed with "button bellow screen" gestures.
1. It is really difficult to use "back" gesture especially when using any kind of phone case.
2. Using "back to homescreen" gesture firstly shows recent apps and then moves to homescreen ...
3. No quick switch between 2 apps - that's truly bad.
4. Missing gesture to move "left <-> right" in recent menu with a finger
2. No. I does take you directly to home screen, by swiping up without any pause. (If I understand your issue correctly)
4. Thanks for reminding me that.
5. Keyboard is at such low bottom, it becomes difficult to type (sometime).
I wish they could have copy pasted Apple's gesture. Easy life!
I like them very much actually...

In pie EMUI9 is it still SwiftKey? If I remember well you can resize and move keyboard in settings SwiftKey.

I'm not running under pie EMUI9 yet and I use

It work awesome. All I miss is switching between app like on ios or zuk z2 pro ui with finger print front. Sad EMUI 9 doesn't have a such function.

This only happens when using a 3rd party launcher.

Well since it's displayed only in this particular situation so i guess it must be it.

YES! But I am not talking about keys on top rather KEYS on the buttom. Like SPACE key and other buttons are so close to the bottom end. Apple has a better Implementation (by sliding down the emoji icons etc). Don't you think?
P.S: I'm on Gboard.

Hi! That is google assistant.
Hmmm the new gestures are a bit tricky aren't they but I quite like them so I'll persevere a bit, else there's plenty of other navigation methods to choose from.
People says the gestures don't work that well when using Nova Launcher.
Anyway, you should try Fluid Navigation Gestures, you can customize it as you wish!

In my opinion, if there is anything this front mounted fingerprint reader/home button is good for it's the "off-screen navigation key" - removes unnecessary icons from the screen making it cleaner and works like a charm. Using it since day 1 with this phone and prefer it over the new gestures.
I can't say the new gestures are really bad, I believe one can get used to them, although the swipe right/left for "back" is tricky if you are using a bulky case (Otterbox etc.)
I'm using Nova Launcher and the Pie gestures are broken. It always shows the recent apps first when exiting from an app. That should really be fixed...
