The new Word Flow keyboard, which is also the name of the Windows Phone 10 keyboard, will have a new feature that will fan out the keys in either corner enabling easier typing.
Microsoft are developing what could possibly be the best solution for one-handed typing. No not for their Lumia range, for the iPhone! One handed typing is a big problem for 5.5-inch iPhone 6S Plus users not used to phablet dimensions. Microsoft aims to address this with their new Word Flow keyboard.
The new Word Flow keyboard, which is also the name of the Windows Phone 10 keyboard, will have a new feature that will fan out the keys in either corner enabling easier typing. Some leaked photos of the Word Flow for iOS app show two fan keys in predictive suggestions bar, which should act as a way to switch from the normal keyboard layout to the left or right fan orientation.

Lumia fans might find this odd as the new keyboard will hit iOS users before coming to the newly launched Lumia 950. It may however still happen (there is enough time) as Microsoft mentioned that the new Word Flow keyboard will come to iOS in the coming months and to Android some time later.
Hopefully Microsoft won’t make the mistake of ignoring their actual device customer base.
