I'm brand new to IPAD; first ever non-PC device. Why don't any of the offered keyboards for the IPAD (mini) include a regular numbers row at the top? I've learned to deal with it, but hate switching keyboards, and even the "flick" movement to get a gray-colored number to appear is kind of a pain. Is there some kind of "policy" that prevents a regular, numeric row at the type like PCs or non-Mac products?

PegDogMac - did you get the app and do you like it - I got an iPad that also requires me to hit the 123 button to get the numbers to show up - what app did you get and did it work for you??? Thanks so much!!!
Try turning on Key Flicks in keyboard settings to make typing numbers easier.
otherwise check for alternative keyboards on the App Store.
PegDogMac I just paid $5 for the Typefinity app for my iPad general 10 and love it. Make sure to read the advanced instructions for if you experience difficulty getting it to show up. I had to toggle through opening and ******** different apps that needed typing a few times in order to get the keyboard to appear. Some bug apparently from apple. But it works great now. Including a picture of my keyboard on the iPad!
Whilst acknowledging that different models of iPad have slightly different on-screen key layout - do you not see a five-row layout similar to this example?
The mini doesn't have this larger version
Thanks. I do use keyboard flicks, but prefer the keyboard shown above. I'll try the app store. Thank you!
According to Tom, the mini doesn't offer this one. Darn, this is what I'm looking for. I'll try the app store and see if there's one available there. Thank you!
Thanks. I've been checking that out, and it looks well worth the $4 cost. I appreciate the help!
You’re very welcome. Hopefully it will help with your issue.
Mee too
