Larger onscreen keyboard for iOS

[colinng]

Then I can remove the system default keyboard and use the TextBlade one instead. Plus it'll be easier to see? Or maybe offer it as an extra size for those who like the small one and only use it as a reference?

I would think an onscreen keyboard for primary use (as opposed to being used simply so you can see what the TB is doing) would be a problem for anything beyond basic characters since so much of the TB uses layers which would be awkward on the screen even if it was bigger.

I was thinking that we use shift and [123] and even [123] followed by [#+=] that simply using the TextBlade layout and treating its [123] as it currently is, would be a welcome relief over using 2 meta keys. Plus the [123] is sticky which is great.

It's also good for non-TREGgers to practice. Maybe potential future customers too if there is a several monthb backlog.

My issue is the hit targets are currently truly too small, and I think making them taller might help, but yes they would be narrower as TextBlade has 12 pads left-to-right whereas the iOS keyboard one has only 10.

I can't tell you how many times I tried to get any combination of key presses to work in the on screen app... Sadly, it seems my fingers are just too fat. I assumed the on screen keyboard was meant to act as a guide and perhaps to enhance connectivity to the text blade without using the full app.
