Research direction

Start by locating the keyboard layout code and the settings that control the emoji and language keys, then trace how their positions affect the spacebar. Add an option to place the emoji key to the right of the spacebar while keeping the existing layout available. Done means the option works with both keys enabled and the spacebar remains centered as requested.

Description

enhancement

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When the emoji key and lamguage key are both enabled, the spacebar key get pushed far to the right.which leads to the emoji key getting pressed accidentally a lot when going for the space bar

Describe the solution you'd like

I recommend adding an option to move the emoji button to the right of the spacebar key.
I think this looks way more balanced.

Use case

It would put the spacebar in the middle of the keyboard where I believe most people are accustomed to it being in this positipn
