They want you to use Gboard instead, but the functionality is worse. I don't get it.
Google Pinyin Input made it very easy to enter punctuation, by doing a minor downward swipe on the virtual key associated with the symbol you want. (You can also swipe up on keys to quickly produce capital letters.) On Gboard, as far as I can tell, you have to do a long press instead, which is a gigantic pain.
I resorted to pulling the apk off my old phone and manually installing it on my new phone, but this feels ridiculous.
Can anyone recommend (a) a pinyin input method that doesn't force you to long press for punctuation, or (b) a setting I've overlooked in any major input method that removes the insane long press requirement?
