Also new, is the inclusion of shortcuts to the
numpad and emoji keyboards in the alt/number
layout, seen on either side of the space bar.

password entry keyboard for users. When users
select a password field, the suggestion bar in
the keyboard layout is replaced with number
keys, helping enter alphanumeric passwords.
