Planned App, settings, sync & Pro English

What would you like?

Please consider adding a floating keyboard that can be moved to different areas of the screen

Why it would help

We hold our phone in many different positions and orientations; it would be great to have the keys adjust with that change.

@qmoorman a keyboard you can drag anywhere on the screen isn't possible for third-party keyboards on iOS. The system always pins them to the bottom edge at full width, and only Apple's own keyboard can float, and only on iPad. What I can do is let the keys move inside that area. In one-handed mode you'd drag the key block sideways to wherever your thumb lands and pick how wide it is, and it would stay on in landscape too, where it currently switches off. Which device are you using, iPhone or iPad, and which model?

Interesting thank you. I’m on an iPhone 16 pro. These new versions have been great btw. I’m the Reddit user that recommended the number strip in one-hand mode! It’s great seeing every new addition.
