Sometimes I type with one hand if I want to make sure that my phone is secure. I cradle the phone in one hand and type with the other.

On IOS 11, holding the globe visible from the Apple Keyboard, allows one to pick between available keyboards. Apple now has a right and left, single handed keyboard choice. For those of us who would sacrifice a some speed in order to hold our phone securely, rather than cradling it on our fingers while we type with our thumbs, it would be nice to have a Typewise options for right and left handed keyboards.

This is the only way i type. I would not go pro if it isn't enhanced.

This could be done by adding swiping.

In addition, when my phone is lying on my desk and I want to respond to a message quickly, it would be nice to only need one hand instead of having to pick the whole phone up to write a message that is legible. If I go to type with just my index finger, I end up with random capitals and things that I'm not sure are actual words. I would purchase pro if this were an available feature.

This is a must for flablets sometimes the bevel on the screen makes it difficult to use keys near the edges
