Description

Feature Request: Keyboard layout customisation (dedicated number row)

Current behavior
The built-in KeePass2Android keyboard does not show a dedicated number row. Digits are only accessible by long-pressing the top letter keys, which makes typing numbers slower and less convenient.

Expected behavior
Users should be able to choose their preferred keyboard layout. At minimum, there should be an option to display a permanent number row at the top of the keyboard, similar to Samsung Keyboard's layout in Spanish mode.

For reference:
