Behavior

On larger iPad models, the same key can appear twice in the same layout. The key objects are identified with their value, so there is no current way to differentiate two keys having the same character but appearing at different positions. This can result in having the wrong popup when pressing the key.

An example is the swedish keyboard for the character §:

Correct popup (is left):

Wrong popup (should be right but is identified as the left key):

Device type

iPad

Versions

iOS 18, Scribe 3.1.1

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the key identification logic in the keyboard layout. Since keys are currently identified by character value, duplicate keys on iPad cause wrong popups. Consider adding position based identification (e.g., row and column) to differentiate them.
