There should be a feature that allows you to hold down the numbers key and slide to a number or symbol like in apple and google keyboards.

Hold gives characters on every key, not just the two current ones. As in SwiftKey and gboard. See screenshot.

"Numbers or Characters on every key" (suggested by Paul Webb on 2021-12-12), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

To say it more precisely: It should work as with the standard Apple keyboard. When holding the numbers key and sliding to the desired number or symbol then this one selected shall be typed. Afterwards the keyboard shall switch back to the standard setting alpha.
