Description

When typing numerical data into a table the Keyboard switches back to the default view with the alphabet when tapping into the next cell and I have to switch back to the numbers and symbols view.

It would be nice to have a numlock when doing a longpress on the switch, or any other feature e.g. an option setting "don't autoswitch back to default entryview' that would fix the input display of the keyboard to the numbers/symbol view.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Android keyboard behavior when moving between table cells and switching from the numbers/symbols view to the default alphabet view. Compare the proposed long-press numlock behavior with the alternative setting to prevent automatic switching, then verify that numerical entry keeps the requested keyboard view across cells.
