It is difficult to read the keys.
The font of the keys should be larger and bold. At least give on option.
2 votesWe increased the default font size, and when bold text is turned on in Accessibility settings we make the font bold as well.

PadKeys locks Chrome in Apple Support Communities
This may be a problem with Chrome or the editor used by ASC, but it has happened several times to me. The only solution is to restart Chrome, losing all the input. It may be when entry has taken a relatively long time. No special keys were used, only backspace, and no correleation between a key and the lockup.
iPad air, iOS 9.3.21 voteThis seems to have been fixed by Apple in iOS 10. Please re-open a new issue if it turns up again in iOS 10 or later.

PadKeys on iOS 9 or earlier
Add PadKeys version 2.2.7 for older iPad iOS 9.3.5
1 voteThank you for your inquiry. It is possible to install PadKeys on older iOS back to 8.2, but only once the current version is purchased with the same account on a compatible device. We’ve also added a FAQ entry about this here:

Use with hardware keyboard
It would be nice to sense if a hardware keyboard was engaged and not display the software keyboard unless explicitly requested from the hardware keyboard. Although trivial to dismiss the software keyboard, it is a distraction when using apps like Ulysses. Even better: make it a configurable option.

Tastatur
Hallo. Das ist die kleinste Tastatur die ich kenne. Die Buchstaben sind enorm klein. Um ein Alternativ Buchstaben zu bekommen, muss ich unter meine Fingerkuppen schauen. Könnten Sie das korrigieren. Auch ein Apostroph fehlt. Die Wörter im Balken sind zu dunkel.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen Markus.1 voteThe ’ apostrophe is now present in the DE layout. Other issues were not clarified / confirmed. Closing.

Extend key flick to cursor keys
Apple keyboard uses vertical slide down on key taps e.g. to access symbols. would be great if you could do similar and go one better -- vertical upwards should do CAPS. on cursor keys it could do prev/next word without the annoying need for option key use.
...or even one vertical direction for prev word and the other for prev sentence?! vertical cursor movement would be better but I understand Apple don't give access.
1 voteImplemented in 4.1.2.

Check Text Replacement in swipe mode
Text replacement data currently does not seem to be accessed while swiping, but it should be accessed before any other dictionary, and used as the first/default suggestion.
1 voteIn version 3.1, shortcuts consisting of just lowercase letters are handled. Case-sensitive ones and ones containing symbols are not yet, but these may be less common.

Shorten the Keyboard
It is a tall keyboard for a phone. Allow for a more “compressed” version
1 voteThis is already implemented! Typefinity offers "Short Mode" as described in the Help section of our installation / instructions app. On an iPad, long-press the keyboard-away key to activate it. On an iPhone, long-press the Globe/Gear key and select the icon with an arrow pointing to a line.
The setting is remembered separately for portrait and landscape modes.

Compress the Keyboard in Horizontal-Mode (by choice)
I ask for an alternate compressed mode/layout for the keyboard in horizontal mode. That mode should be switched only by choice. I found out by testing many apps, that many of them expect a specific space (height) of the keyboard, especially in horizontal mode. To often apps are using the ios gray shortcut panel for necessary functions as in notes or pages. Most times I need both - the PadKeys panel plus the ios panel. But than at some apps I can even not view, what I am typing because it is shown in the vertical middle of the screen.…
1 voteThank you for the suggestion. We have implemented this in the just-released version 2.1.2. When in landscape mode, you may long-press the keyboard-away key to toggle a shorter layout. This layout will be “remembered” until you switch it back, but in portrait mode it is not active (since they keyboard is already short enough, relatively speaking). Note also that this mode is not active on the large iPad Pro since a shorter layout is used by default there anyway.

Add setting option to disable forward-delete key
On the Settings window, add a toggle control that determines whether the forward-delete key is enabled or disabled. That will allow those of us who use PadKeys primarily in Safari to keep it from freezing everything if we accidentally tap that key (which happens with disturbing regularity in my neck of the woods), while retaining the abiliy to turn it back on in safer environments.
1 voteI agree this is annoying, but Apple really should fix this bug rather than us doing gymnastics around it. Let’s see if iOS 9.3 can manage it.
UPDATE: Due to continuing inaction by Apple, we have implemented a work-around in version 2.2 at a small cost to the functionality. The delete key now operates somewhat more slowly and does not repeat on hold. But Safari hanging is largely prevented.

Error in German localization off English keyboard layout
I found a confusing error in German localization off English (!) keyboard layout:
The german translation of the "return" key is "Return" (the orig. english word) and not "Zurück" (that word means "backspace") in German.
So use "Return" or the return-symbol.1 voteFixed in version 2.0.

Caps Lock
What about Caps lock?
1 voteIt’s there (though maybe needs documenting). Double-tap the shift key to activate caps-lock, tap again to deactivate.

Make the space bar longer.
On the US English version of the keyboard there appears to be wasted space to the left side of the space bar.
if you could reduce the whitespace between the globe, delete forward and the middle key, the space bar could be longer.
1 voteIn 1.4.1 we made the spacebar a bit wider on the left side. We don’t want to crowd the bottom row keys too much since for the most part they have fairly drastic functions :) and the consequences of a finger slip are greater than elsewhere.

Keyboard shortcuts are case sensitive and ones with symbols are not recognized
Thanks to user reports we have just been made aware of these issues:
PadKeys is case-sensitive: If you have a shortcut "xx" -> "something", then typing "Xx" will not trigger the shortcut. You have to type "xx".
PadKeys won't recognize shortcuts like "x@y" -> "xray1@yowzer.com" at all.
We are working on these and hope to submit a new version to the App Store in a couple of days. As always, folks interested in getting the fix sooner can open a ticket with us and we'll add you to the list to receive beta versions through TestFlight before they…
1 voteOK this has been taken care of in 1.3.2. Sorry it took so long to get out, there was an unrelated issue that derailed the review process a bit.
Please open a new issue if something is still not behaving as expected.

Multi language support
Hi,
I really like the keyboard but one thing I miss from SwiftKey is the ability to have a Swedish layout and the ability to write both in Swedish and English with full aurocorrection in both without having to switch between the layouts.
BR
/Mikael1 voteWe have implemented the switch button approach in release 1.3. In our own testing this worked pretty conveniently, but please let us know how it works for you.
