IOS 10.3 includes iPad floating keyboard support for one-handed operation

Earlier today, Apple distributed the first betaiOS 10.3for developers, which includes several

new features.

Deep inside the mobile operating system codethe systems detected a hidden mode of operation of a standard keyboard intended for iPad users. As it was established by the developer Stephen Troughton-Smith, in iOS 10.3 there is a special code that activates a special mode designed to faster and more conveniently type text while holding the tablet with one hand on iPad devices with a screen of 9.7 inches or less. (Obviously, this mode bypasses the side of the iPad Pro).

New in iOS 10.3&#8211; Floating keyboard layout on iPad screens for one-handed use (9.7 inches or smaller). Can move across the entire screen like a PiP (Picture-in-Picture) option.

Troughton-Smith notes that the keyboard may bemoved to any place at the request of the user, which should become a good "chip" if this option ever becomes available to end users. Trouton-Smith also indicates that it took some time to find a new floating keyboard layout, and that this option is “not yet publicly available”.

What do you think about this idea?
