Oppo How to Change Keyboard Layout

Number Keys
The numeric key row displays a separate row on the keyboard with the numbers 0-9. This replaces the double letters and makes it easier to enter the numbers, but also takes up more space on the keyboard.

Keyboard layout
Depending on the selected keyboard language, a corresponding keyboard layout is used. Thus, the QWERTZ layout is used for the German language. The English language uses the QWERTY layout. Besides these two keyboard layouts, there are others such as AZERTY, Dvorak, Neo2, Colemark and PC. The Gboard keyboard on the Oppo smartphone also offers a layout for handwriting.
