The keyboard uses a considerable amount of screen real-estate, especially in landscape mode. Usually I try to find a spot to click that is outside any textbox to temporarily get rid of the keyboard, though sometimes this is difficult.

It turns out there is a Sailfish way of minimizing the keyboard that is much easier: Just swipe down on the keyboard, and it will close. It even works in Android apps!

This post should be turned into wiki, IMHO. And THIS (swiping down the keyboard) is one of the feature I find super in SailfishOS.

Coming from N9, it was just natural to use the same gesture.

Oh yes, this is good to know! But it requires a little bit of practicing. :-)

I agree with Magullo and nthn that this should be a wiki, but not that it should be closed. Lots of people have missed this (I missed it until I did it by accident), and the feature is very useful. Reopened.

There is nothing to discuss about it though, it's just a hint.
