Description

For smaller devices like Pixel Fold we could follow the current layout which is given below

Portrait	Landscape

For larger tablets, we would need to have an expanded layout with a more traditional desktop layout

• On the right: delete, return, shift, ?!123
• On the left: tab, caps lock, shift, ?!123
• Comma and period are on the row above space, not on the same row

Multiple Pull requests are expected for each language separately or they could be grouped up as the contributor wishes

The Language below are to be done:

• English
• French
• German
• Italian
• Portuguese
• Russian
• Spanish
• Swedish

Gboard Keyboard given below could be used as a reference

Happy to help anyone solve this issue or take this up myself at some point

I think we can keep this all in one issue, @angrezichatterbox :) Let's paste images of what an expanded tablet keyboard looks like for each of the languages that we currently support and then you can take on the first one. From there people can pick up other languages and we can advertise that we're looking for contributors to help with this on Matrix :)

So should I add images from G-board. In such a way that they no refer it completely but the keys which are similar. Or should I add the images of the iPad Keyboard.

[andrewtavis]

I'd say G-board would be fine :) Feel free to add them to the issue text 😊

Can I contribute to this issue?

Sure thing, @karanvishesh! Looking forward to working with you on this :) Please let us know if there are any questions!

@andrewtavis @angrezichatterbox I have a doubt regarding the layout for tablets
As you mentioned : On the right: delete, return, shift, ?!123
Can you please explain where's the return key in scribe currently

[andrewtavis]

The return key for phones is on the bottom right, and for tablets we'd need to move it to the middle right.

Is this what you're asking, @karanvishesh?
