First, I want to thank the developers for all the
hard work they’ve put in. I want to apologize for the criticism that follows.
You’ve created a great multi-tool.
You pick it up, open the tool you need, and look forward to
enjoying your work. The phone screen is small, and
you accidentally tap the wrong spot, bringing up the wrong
tool. You close it, but it keeps opening
again and again... And coding turns into a
quest game you no longer want to play.
Opening something by dragging is great, but if
it doesn’t work properly, it turns into
a nightmare and a waste of time. The main task with COTG
is writing code. Nothing should get in the way of that,
least of all a cautious movement. Everything other than the editor
are auxiliary tools that you spend less
time using. If that requires clicking somewhere
that isn’t in a convenient spot, that’s better than a mistaken click
in a convenient spot.

@kindelksoft Thanks for bringing this up! My apologies on the delay in response. I think we can create feature requests for discrete parts of your suggestion. Can we start by identifying the most important single change that would help this problem?

[kindelksoft]

Thank you for your work and for your response to the problems.

1. The most important problem is opening the bottom panel with a simple tap.
2. A slightly less important problem is the incorrect reaction of the bottom panel, which opens with a swipe up, when you don't even touch it, but just scroll through the code.

Thanks for clarifying these problems!

1. This functionality should currently work. Can you please remind me about your device model and Android version? We may have some compatibility issues.
2. This could also be connected to device compatibility. About how far above the panel does the swiping action incorrectly cause the panel to open?

Samsung Galaxy A26 5G. SM-A266B/DS. Android - 16.

It would be nice if the bottom panel disappeared when the keyboard was opened.
Like in this example. Then there would be no problems with mistaken pressing.
