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).
