OnePlus How to Change Keyboard Layout

The keyboard's standard design comes in a simple gray and can look rather dreary in the long run.

In order to adapt the OnePlus smartphone to the user's wishes and needs, we can always choose a different keyboard design, which is color-coordinated with the background of the start screen, for example.

In addition to normal keyboard colours, such as red, green or blue, we have the option of downloading additional designs of landscapes and light or dark colour gradients.

We can also specify whether the keys should be displayed with a border.

Note: The download is free and can be done at any time.

For example, if the additional number key line is enabled, the keyboard on the OnePlus smartphone will appear quite large by default.

Depending on personal preferences or needs, the keyboard size can be selected from the following seven options:

• Extra-short
• Short
• Mid-short
• Normal
• Mid-tall
• Tall
• Extra-tall

If we enable this feature on the OnePlus smartphone, an additional symbol is displayed on the keys, which inserts the alternative character by tapping and holding the corresponding key, without having to switch to the symbols keyboard layout.

We can decide whether an additional line of numeric keys should appear on the keyboard of the OnePlus smartphone, attached to the top edge and showing the numbers 0-9.

This increases the required area of the keyboard, but offers a higher typing speed, as no switching to digits is necessary.

We can display recently used emojis in the suggestion bar of the icon keyboard on the OnePlus smartphone.

This means that after switching the keyboard, the preferred emojis can be displayed and selected above the number line, ensuring quick access.

If you frequently use emojis while typing text on the OnePlus smartphone, we can activate an emoji toggle key that ensures quick access, which significantly increases the typing speed of messages or emails.

This will replace the Emoji key with the language switcher (globe icon).

Note: To change the keyboard language while typing, you can still hold down the space key.

If we select the language and region when setting up the OnePlus smartphone, a keyboard language with a suitable layout is automatically added.

If we want to change the keyboard layout, we can select a layout for each selected keyboard language, which will be added additionally.

The following keyboard layouts can be selected by default:

• QWERTY
• QWERTY
• Handwriting
• AZERTY
• Dvorak
• Neo2
• Colemak
• PC
