Keyboard covers most of the screen after switching to from native detached mode

[snomos]

To repeat:

1. bring forth a native keyboard, e.g. English or Swedish
2. long press the keyboard button, and select 'Detach'/'lösgör' etc
3. move the keyboard to e.g. the middle of the screen
4. press the globe button to switch to a Sámi keybard

The keyboard now covers most of the screen, even in split mode (we know this, and it is expected).

BUT: also note how the keyboard button is not present anymore, and there is no way the user can move the keyboard to a more suitable location.

Suggested change: Always make sure the keyboard is 'docked'/attached to the bottom of the screen, so that when switching from a detached (and possibly split) native keyboard, it will automatically be redocked. That will be annoying too, but less so than the present state.

iPad Pro 9.7", iOS 13.3.1.

Gboard handles this partially by including a keyboard dismiss button, by which the keyboard disappears, so one can see the full text/document. It does NOT solve the bug that the keyboard can't be moved - you have to use a native keyboard for that, then switch back to Gboard (and the same with ours):

Actually, we do the same, so for this bug, Gboard and we are equally good/bad:

This is still not working well, since there is no way to re-dock the keyboard, or move it around. I suggest we add an option to move the keyboard to the bottom in the keyboard key long-press popup list.

As it is now, tapping that button just hides the keyboard, and when brought back, it is still stuck in the middle of the screen.

This is what it looks like after following the instructions above (9" iPad):

Apple has switched from using icons to text labels for the various keyboard configurations. Maybe we should too.
