Still waiting for them to give me the option to make the keyboard automatically switch to floating in landscape mode (like it did before for a short period of time!) rather than do this:

Not sure I understand why you would want that. But more options for gboard would always be good.

I have a Pixel 7 pro and on the off chance I have to type in landscape it's super inconvenient to write anything on that long ass keyboard lmao

The floating keyboard lets me swipe type with one hand, since I can reach the whole thing with just my thumb!

Huh I never type in portrait if I can help it, my thumbs are way too big for it. Landscape any time I'm typing and even then I wish I could make the keyboard bigger without losing visibility to what I'm typing/replying to. I also don't swipe type, have never really liked it.
