iPad - Floating keyboard for ipad

Declined Keys, layout & gestures

sbk TESTER ·

What would you like?

Floating keyboard would be easier and better to use.

Why it would help

While rotating the IPad on big screen, keys are hard to reach due to its screen size, so having floating keyboard would be much better to use. This exist in stock keyboard when enter key is long pressed.

@sbk iPadOS lets only Apple's own keyboard float. A third-party keyboard always gets the full-width strip at the bottom and can't be undocked, so I can't build this one. For reaching the keys in landscape, turn on Split keyboard in the EFKey app (Keys › Split keyboard, or search "split" in settings), or tap Split in the toolbar menu. In landscape the keys then split into two halves under your thumbs. It's off by default on iPad, so you probably haven't seen it yet.
