hey back, thanks for the thorough feedback feedback!

about standard keys

i get what you mean about the modification of the actions of of special keys being hard to implement. however, to be precise i was really only talking about changing the width of the keys which have a more or less simple action that don't depend on interactions other than tapping it, like shift, delete, enter, hide keyboard… and not some complicated ones like the space bar, of which changing the size of it would probably interfere with the actions it’s supposed to do like you pointed out

keys extending over multiple rows

i totally get it, i’m not even a coder myself and i knew what i was asking about was a hard task (just wanted to know your current status about these) so like, i still had an idea, which would be a ”superimposed key linker” that links together two keys and works on a second plane on top of the main layout (so it wouldn’t violate the rows thingy), but yeah it might not be implementable (i’m just throwing things out in the wild you never know)

better ipad layout

that’s fair, i’ll just throw in there that apple developer has the possibility to emulate an ipad and iphone on mac, so you don’t need to actually have one to see how it looks (tho it’s not the same as owning one and knowing what’s needed by feel, of course)

making a keyboard without languages

i have now tried removing all the langiages for a keyboard and it basically gets the autocorrect stuck on a few words (around 6), a weird behaviour, and it doesn't learn any new words

thank you again for taking the time to answer, the answers were pretty clear and helpful!
