A screenshot of Microsoft's upcoming keyboard for iOS has been leaked online by The Verge revealing a one-handed typing mode.
While the Windows 10 Mobile keyboard also has a one-handed mode, Microsoft's iOS version is different. The one-handed mode works on each side, allowing you to use either hand to swipe letters or type on the go. Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile keyboard simply shifts to the side to create a compact keyboard, instead of the fanned key layout used in the iOS version.
The Word Flow keyboard also offers word suggestions, emoji, and lets you swipe between letters to type words.
Microsoft plans to launch its keyboard on iOS within a few months and on Android later this year.

There is already an app called "thumbfan keyboard" on the App Store. Try it out. Is been out for over a year.

I get that they're trying something new, but for one hand, for keys squished together while trying to hold the phone, what are the odds of not mistyping?

Or an accident enabler by any irresponsible texting while driving with one hand...thanks Microsoft!
