Concepts:

​

A new concept is to have multiple toggle keyboards available instantly when composing with a touch of a button.  Twelve keyboards can be assigned to twelve buttons T1-T12 and access them in Compose mode.  You can toggle between keyboards of countries, extended languages,  phrases, emojis, arts and sciences that you have created.
Also 12 instant phrase keys that are changeable.

Create an extended keyboard for your  language provided in the app.  I suggest most used characters on the default keyboard and lesser characters on a toggle keyboard.  

To enhance messages, paste into another application like Notes or Pages to change the font and size, attach it to an email, paste into an app for texting and translate into another language. 

For backup, use the Apple Files app to store your keyboards and text messages  to  the cloud, to a flash drive or attached hard drive.
 
The keyboard layout design was created to associate alphabetic and numeric keys with their associated punctuation keys.

 The  keyboards locate text editing keys in their common keyboard position with some new ones. Standard alphabetic character key positions are in their common locations. The number keys have a calculator design. There are a few that have double characters, money symbols and numeric zero with slash zero. 
​
Arrow keys are for cursor positioning.  Don't touch the screen to reposition the cursor, use the app arrows.  If you want to use IOS commands, place the cursor at the text start.

​

Spaces are clustered in a block for easy access without precision.  Touch anywhere in the block and you get a space.
 
There are open ? keys to place characters, emojis, phrases and sentences. Any key with 2 characters becomes lower and upper case. 

Within the app, there is detailed documentation in 26 languages. When you select a country, the documentation and a keyboard layout appears .  The indexed documentation explains how to create the keyboard.

The Elements section has full documentation in English. It can be copied, pasted into a word processor for editing and printing or translated.  

The MyOwnKeyboard trademark is in process.

The keyboard design and computer code is patent  pending.
