Hmm.. Not at the moment. I need to think about it. I'm a bit wary to add additional keys. On landscape, the text window becomes a bit too small to my liking. But. I'll think about it.

Have you seen Codea (nee Codify)? It implements what looks like the standard keyboard with an extra row on top containing things like parenthesis, quotes, tab and left/right cursor keys. Screenshot here http://www.twolivesleft.com/Codea/Talk/discussion/206/progre...

the next version codea supports hooper selection

You can make a custom keyboard smaller than the standard text keyboard, solving your problem :)
That's a really good way to confuse and annoy iPad power users. Moving the key positions slightly in just one app just leads to typos.
Agreed, don't do that. It's probably also against Apple's guideline and will get your app blocked (and rightly!)
iSSH has done it and it has been in the store for years.
