Configuring Keyboard Shape
Use the setting to configure your keyboard to appear as a wide, side-by-side keyboard, or as a square one, for either Portrait or Landscape.

In portrait mode and for a larger key size, if your wide keyboard does not fit it would show up as squarish.

You can also change the keyboard shape by doing a drag-left-and-return mon the Hand button. This works in landscape as well in the smaller portrait sizes. You can also change the configuration of the wide keyboard, to place the letters on either left or right side (see Configuring Wide Keyboard below)..

Left-Right configuration: Square Keyboard
In Settings, you can choose between left-handed or right-handed square keyboard configurations. The right-handed keyboard configuration is the default, placing the control buttons (hand, back-space, return, etc)to the right of the main grid. You can choose the left-handed configuration to place these control buttons to the left of the main grid

In Settings, you can choose between letters-on-left and letters-on-right. This setting will affect the wide keyboard, be it in the landscape mode when configured to be wide, as described above,or the portrait mode (when in its smallest size).

Split Keyboard
