Isn't this use case already solved by phone browsers? Layouts are controlled via the inputmode attribute. Positioning the keyboard should be something solved by the host environment.


1. inputmode is very, very limited

2. "Solved by host environment" in practice means "worse user experience" as pretty much all of them simply use lower portion of the screen.

In comparison, the current draggable on screen keyboard I spent significant amount of time getting working allows the worker to drag the keyboard around if it overlaps a piece of information they need, as well as takes comparatively little space on screen enabling workers to better see what they are manipulating.
