Developer Steve Troughton-Smith has discovered a hidden one-handed mode keyboard in iOS.

Troughton-Smith managed to hack the iOS simulator to enable the keyboard. It's activated by edge-swiping and features shortcuts for cut, copy, paste, and undo. Notably, the keyboard has been there since iOS 8 but never enabled by Apple.

Take a look at a few screenshots below.
