iOS (neé iPhone) 1.0 automatically resized the logical size of keyboard "keys" based on prediction models of the word you're typing. The video describing this behavior has since been pulled, but you can read the a summary of the behavior in this 2007 article: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10114943-233.html http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10114943-233.html
So, given that pre-existing behavior, established in iPhone 1.0 back in 2007, do you honestly believe the iPad's split keyboard behavior is a bug?
This is a very intentional and deliberate decision that improves the keyboard's usability while at the same time maintaining its aesthetics.
- rhplus 14y agoI'm not suggesting that the split keyboard is a bug. I'm suggested that the behavior of ghost keys to the left and right of the split might have not been intentional.
- ryannielsen 14y agoI understand; I'm saying those ghost keys are intentional, and are a logical extension of the "logical key predictive resizing" behavior present in the keyboard since 1.0.
