Oppo: Move the Keyboard Higher on Screen

If the on-screen keyboard on your Oppo phone sits too close to the bottom edge, reaching the top row with your thumb becomes awkward during one-handed typing. Coloros offers a setting that adds blank space below the keys, shifting the whole keyboard upward. This makes a noticeable difference on larger displays where the default position feels too far down for comfortable use.

Change Keyboard Location auf Oppo

On many Oppo phones running Coloros, the keyboard is anchored directly to the bottom edge of the screen. On larger displays this can push the top row of keys out of comfortable thumb reach, especially when typing one-handed.

Coloros solves this with a dedicated Keyboard location setting. It adds a blank strip below the keyboard, effectively lifting the keys closer to the middle of the screen. The change applies system-wide, so it affects the keyboard in messaging apps, browsers, and anywhere else you type.

How to raise the keyboard

Open SettingsAdditional settingsKeyboard & input methodKeyboard location. Choose Raised to add the blank space, or switch back to Default to remove it.

This setting only changes the vertical position of the keyboard. It does not resize the keys or change the layout, so switching it on will not fix issues with key spacing or autocorrect.

If one-handed typing is still uncomfortable after raising the keyboard, check whether your phone also has a separate one-handed mode, since that adjusts screen scale rather than keyboard height.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The Keyboard location setting changes the system keyboard, so the extra space below the keys appears in any app that uses the standard on-screen keyboard, including messaging, browsers, and note apps.
