The Hardware: Type Folio Move

To understand the **remarkable move typed text** capabilities, you first have to look at the accessory that makes it possible. The Type Folio Move ($149) is a marvel of miniaturization.

Unlike the full-size version, this keyboard lacks a number row (you access numbers via a Function key) and shrinks the outer punctuation keys. It feels very similar to the legendary BlackBerry keyboards of the past, or the modern specialized mechanical keyboards like the Planck.

Key Features:

• Travel: 1.3mm key travel (surprisingly deep for a folio).
• Backlight: Yes, it has the same subtle backlight as the Paper Pro.
• Size: It adds only 4mm of thickness to the device.

The typing experience is “thumb-friendly.” While you can touch-type on a desk, many users find it most comfortable to hold the device in two hands and type with thumbs, similar to a sidekick phone from the 2000s.

The Software: Reflow and Focus

The hardware is only half the story. The software update (reMarkable OS 3.16) completely overhauled how **remarkable move typed text** is rendered on the small screen.

On the larger 11.8-inch Paper Pro, text usually sits in a column with wide margins. On the Move, the software defaults to a “Full Width” Mode. This eliminates margins almost entirely, allowing about 8-10 words per line (at 12pt font). This is the typographic “sweet spot” for readability.

The “Focus Mode” Feature:

When you start typing, the UI disappears. The toolbar fades away, the page number vanishes, and you are left with just your words on the Canvas Color display. Because the screen is E-Ink, there is zero glare. It creates a tunnel vision effect that is incredibly conducive to drafting.

Mixing Handwriting & Typing

The superpower of the **remarkable move typed text** system is that it doesn’t lock you into a “word processor” mode. You can pick up your Marker and scribble directly over your typed paragraphs.

For editing, this is revolutionary. You can type a draft of a blog post, then sit back on a train and use the red marker to circle typos, draw arrows to rearrange paragraphs, or cross out sentences. When you go back to typing, the text does not automatically move your handwriting (unless you anchor it), which is a quirk you need to get used to.

However, recent updates allow you to use “Selection Handles” to grab a paragraph of text and move it up or down, carrying the anchored annotations with it. This hybrid workflow is what separates the Move from a simple laptop.

The 7-Inch Limitations

It isn’t all perfect. There are physical realities to typing on a 7.3-inch screen that affect the **remarkable move typed text** workflow.

1. The “Wall of Text” Effect

Because the screen is short, you only see about 15 lines of text at a time. This makes it hard to get an overview of a long document. You will find yourself scrolling constantly. For writing new content, this is fine; for editing a 50-page thesis, it is frustrating.

2. No Split Screen

Unlike the Boox Tab Mini C (see our Alternative Guide), the reMarkable Move does not support split-screen multitasking. You cannot have a PDF open on the top half and your typed notes on the bottom. You have to toggle between files.

3. Battery Drain

While the tablet itself lasts weeks, utilizing the Type Folio backlight drains the battery significantly faster. Heavy typing sessions can reduce the battery life from 14 days to about 4 days.

Who is this For?

After weeks of testing the **remarkable move typed text** setup, we have identified the perfect user.

This is not a laptop replacement. It is a Drafting Device. It is for the novelist who wants to write 1,000 words during a commute. It is for the journalist who needs to type up an interview in a coffee shop without the distraction of email. It is for the poet who wants a digital typewriter that fits in a purse.

If you try to use it to manage complex spreadsheets or format heavy reports, you will hate it. But if you treat it as a dedicated writing tool, it is the most focused piece of technology released in 2026.
