  • References to a split keyboard layout have reportedly been found in Gboard.
  • This would be a major addition for foldable and tablet devices.

Gboard has been around for ages now, offering features like swipe typing, emoji/GIF search, one-handed mode, and theme support. One feature that’s been missing for a long time is a split layout though, being handy for tablets and foldables (or for those using their phones in landscape mode). This layout means you can comfortably reach all the letters when typing with two hands.

It’s a strange omission but Android Police has now spotted a reference to a split layout in the Gboard beta (version 11.5.05.427194903) on the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Check out their screenshot below.
