To reduce the occurrence of special characters on your Samsung keyboard:
- Navigate to Settings.
- Select General Management.
- Tap on Keyboard List and Default.

- Again, go to Settings > General Management > Keyboard List and Default > Samsung Keyboard.
- Select Swipe, Touch, and Feedback.
- Adjust the Keyboard Touch and Hold Delay to Long or set a Custom delay.

To streamline your keyboard toolbar by removing unnecessary icons:
- Activate the keyboard.
- Tap the three-bar icon.

If you prefer a cleaner interface without any icons above the keyboard:
- Go to Settings.
- Select General Management.
- Tap on Keyboard List and Default.
- Choose Samsung Keyboard.
- Turn off the toggle for Keyboard Toolbar.
