iOS 8 to Include Support for System Wide Third-Party Keyboards

My Coke Rewards

I want a special keyboard for the My Coke Rewards app. I've got to type in the those 12 or 16 digit codes from the bottle caps and I want the letters AND numbers row on for the whole process, something like k3j4s9g2s7s2j doubles the number of taps if I have to keep hitting shift.

I also want it smart enough to know the kn2h38jndk4 isn't a word and to not try to auto-correct it

Two words: tab key.

I looked at the links below. You could've easily had me at arrows. I'm down!

Do any of the third-party keyboards have the four arrow keys Inc. in them?
That is the only additional feature that I am truly hoping for. I have not been using any third party keyboards so thus my curiosity. Anyone?

iKeyWi for jailbroken iPads used to, but for some reason hasn't been able to offer them for iOS 6 or 7. I'm assuming the guy who creates that will be making a "legit" iOS 8 version, since nobody will be buying the jailbreak anymore! If Apple allows it, I'm sure that keyboard will have it. I know that some apps with alternative in-app keyboards do have arrow keys as well, so hopefully that means that Apple will allow it.

I just want a keyboard with numbers on the main screen, arrow keys, and customizable keys so that I can put common HTML commands on the keyboard! (I use iKeyWi for 2 out of 3 of these...)

alternative keyboard

Note to Gary: there is a keyboard that offers being able to switch between numbers and letters without having to use a shift key - forum rules prevent mentioning the product - it was offered for iPHones back in 2008 but Apple passed.

Plus arrows, plus lowercase, plus...

The option of having a dedicated numeric row above the alpha keys.
