And I don't understand why they can't cram the punctation marks (at least full stop and comma) on it. And I have an iPhone...

Long tap for numbers and punctuation, ala android, is always annoying missing when using the iPad keyboard. Its so simple, plus saves so much time and mental processing hunting through the extra keyboard states.
Typing two spaces turns into a full stop and a space.
I think you and I are the only two people left on the planet putting two spaces after a full stop/period.
It removes the first space and adds a period instead.
Thank you.
I don't understand why every single keyboard on mobile doesn't have the .COM button. It's basically become as ubiquitous as any punctuation mark given how often emails are typed.
IIRC, this is exactly what happens for html5 forms: the default keyboards on ios/android/wp do display the "@"/".com"/".net" buttons next to the space bar depending on the input type.
Yea, every time a keyboard does this I am pleased. Not sure why it's not a default.
FYI, in appropriate locations (browsers), holding the period key will give you options for .us, .org, .edu, .net, and .com.
Really? Thanks, will definitely be trying this.
Happy to help. It's elaborated on here [0] along with some other tips (warning: autoplay video).
