Hi, putting this idea on the forum so we can find out how many people prefer the backspace in one place or the other.
Currently it is in the top row. GOOD because it’s like other (non-phone) keyboards and allows the punctuation keys to be in their normal places. BAD because it makes backspace harder to hit and the keyboard is harder to get used to from other phone keyboards.
We could move it to the bottom row. GOOD because it’s like phone keyboards that people are used to, and allows the backspace to be easily hit. BAD because it’s different from standard keyboards and would move the punctuation keys to a strange, hard-to-hit place.
If opinions are split we might consider making it an option, but options make the keyboard more complicated to configure (and many users never open Settings) and to maintain.

I would LOVELOVELOVE this to be an option. It may be what prevents me from using it much as muscle memory is making me hit period constantly instead of delete. I did it at least 10x just typing this comment. I'd be fine with just a narrow one replacing the period as it will be easier to try to be more precise rather than learn a whole new location. I also don't want to fully retrain myself to use the new location since it will make it much harder to use other phones where I don't have this installed or switch to another keyboard if necessary (IE if Typefinity stops development or something – I'm sure you plan to keep doing it, but it's happened many times before).
