iPhone keyboard

Without jailbreaking it, is there any hope of rearranging the keyboard so that:

Shift is on the right
Delete is on the left
Return/Search/Go is on the left
123... is on the right

?

How about? Think it does other stuff to like remote control..

Sorry have not used them so I can not tell you what is best.

Also note there a number of word processors, that include custom keyboard and macro capability.

Lastly do not forget about the real deal. Plenty of full size and small folding blue tooth keyboards.

Well, if I have to use a physical keyboard every time I want to use the phone, I may as well just use my laptop.

I realize but the idea is we always carry our phones. A custom keyboard might help in a lot of use cases... Note that Many of these portable KBs are about the size of an Iphone + or - when folded and weigh much less then any laptop.

This is an example

And another.. I think this one is much lighter, like 3 oz and has a rechargeable lion battery

Good Luck.

Sure - just hold it upside down, or behind your back.
