Is it still possible to hide nav buttons?

Answered

I like my full screen, but I also like my nav buttons because it has force close and split screen mapped to it. I was wondering if this function still exist, cause I can't find it in the shortcut and gesture menu anymore.

Unless you can remap those to the gesture.

Nope. For whatever reason, Xiaomi decided to remove the ability to hide the nav bar when they introduced gesture navigation.

Well that sucks. Gesture would've been nice if they allowed us to remap it.

Yes, it's an annoyance. You can still access split screen from recents menu but a shortcut is faster. Quick ball doesn't have the option either.

Agreed. I wouldn't mind so much if quick ball has at least force closed. But nope.

If i read your text correctly, i think i have the solution for you. I hava mi mix 2 and didn't like the gestures. I found an app that gives you the option to hide the nav bar, and you can select certain apps that will still show the navbar.

No problem, I had the same thought as you and asked here as well, disappointed to see that the feature was removed from miui. I just googled and went through XDA-developers etc. and stumbled on the solution. Glad i could help!!
