Oppo: Turn On the Number Row on the Keyboard

Gboard hides the number row by default and doubles the top letter keys for symbols instead, saving vertical space on smaller screens. Turning on the number row moves the digits 0-9 into a fixed line above the letters, so you skip the long-press or the switch to the symbol keyboard.

This setting lives inside Gboard's own preferences, not in the general Oppo keyboard menu, because the number row is a Gboard feature rather than a Coloros one. On Oppo phones running Coloros, open Tap on Settings ➔ Tap on Additional settings ➔ Tap on Keyboard & input method ➔ Tap on Gboard ➔ Tap on Preferences ➔ Enable or disable Number row.

Enabling the row helps with frequent PIN, price or code entry, but it reduces the space left for prediction bars and can push message previews further up the screen. If you rarely type numbers, leaving it off keeps the keyboard more compact for regular typing. Disabling it later uses the same menu path and switches the layout back instantly.
