Resize 123 & Enter Keys

Could we use a narrower 123 key and a wider Enter/Search/Go key to match the stock keyboard? The Enter key is used more often than the 123 key. I understand that when the comma and/or period keys are active, the Enter key must shrink. Otherwise, matching the stock widths for the 123 and Enter keys would be aesthetically pleasing.

@OverClocked with the comma and period keys off, the bottom row now uses the stock widths: 123 and emoji at 1.25 keys each, space at 5 and Enter at 2.5, so Enter is twice as wide as 123. With comma or period turned on it stays as it was. Done for build 447, and it'll be in 2.2 on the App Store.

On iOS the spacebar is always aligned with the end of a key and with comma and period key off, efkey isn't. Can you alter that?

@Ed without the emoji key in the row, 123 was a quarter key narrower than Shift, so the space bar started just left of Z. Fixed for build 451: 123 is now as wide as Shift, and the space bar runs from under Z to under N.

This is what it looks like now. I'm pretty fine with it alrhoigh it's a bit off. But the native is also a bit off

The 123 key is too wide. I make a lot of typing mistakes because of this issue. The Enter key should be wider instead, just like on the native iOS keyboard.

@Zoltán that's the combination with the emoji key and the period key on, where 123 kept the comma's spot even with the emoji key next to it. It's the same bug as #B492. Fixed for build 464 (and the next App Store update after 2.2.1): 123 and emoji are 1.25 keys each like stock, and Enter gets the extra width.
