I came up with a brilliant and very needed idea last night, of a tweak that allows one to move and scale the touchscreen keyboard around on the screen.
This is good for many reasons:
- If you cant find the right way to hold the iPad, type with 1 hand easier by scaling down the keyboard size to something you prefer, and move it to the left or right side so you can type easy.
- If you prefer typing in the middle of the touch screen or on the top (like I prefer, because I find it would be MUCH easier) then just move it to the top.
Heres some concept art (both images are 1000x700 or so):
The iPad keyboard at regular size, with a move icon (very left, drag to move keyboard up and down), a default position icon (middle right icon, tap to return to bottom at regular size size) and a resize icon (very right, tap to go smaller, when in smaller mode, drag to resize, tap again to return to regular size)
