Research direction

The payload names no source files, so start by locating the keyboard's input view and window layout in the Kotlin Android project. Compare the current layout with the before and after screenshots to define a floating, resizable keyboard that appears in landscape. Done means the keyboard can be shown floating and dismissed, with no regressions in the normal docked mode. Confirm with maintainers before starting, since the issue has had no response for over a year.
