Where is comma on kindle fire keyboard

I have find so many solution but, no one works for me. Pretty sloppy Amazon. I also could not find the comma. I guess they are scared we might try to download the files need to install Google Play Store.

A couple of the Google files needed have commas. I checked with Amazon support and they confirmed no comma when in a browser. I was told to check back in a week to see if they have fixed it. I hope this helps you.

Don't take that to mean it is accessed via the shift key. No, the comma is accessed by a long press on the period key. Let's think about that for a sentence. A comma means a short pause, a period means a long pause. To access the period you make a short press, to access the comma you make a long press.

This inversion of meaning and action may be the developers just playing with us, and it isn't worth talking about any further as we may never know what they were thinking. But I digress. The comma moves to a new location, the top row of soft keys lets call them 'super soft keys' that appear in a background-ish color above the keyboard.

I guess because it was decided the old spot for the comma was too inconvenent. To help you in resisting the temptation to take the hard way to arrive at a comma, the developers chose to remove the comma from the period key when it is visible in the 'super soft key' area. This may explain in part why some people hate software developers. Perhaps another photo would help illustrate my point.

Comma quest aside, the Kindle Keyboard is very comfortable to type on. Okay, one more tip for this page. The first generation Kindle Fire had a handy key you could press to close your keyboard.

Unfortunately, the newer software doesn't have this button, which makes me a little sad. To close your keyboard you have to tap the back arrow icon. I personally find it very annoying, but fortunately I learned a sweet swipe shortcut for closing the keyboard. See the next section for the link.
