Description
The ESC and other function keys in the toolbar are currently displayed as text buttons, which consume considerable space. Replacing them with icons would improve space efficiency and create a cleaner interface. Additionally, the arrow keys could be consolidated into a single directional control, reducing button count and improving usability. The overall design could take inspiration from the toolbar layout used in iSH.

Research direction
Start by locating the toolbar and custom on-screen keyboard in the Swift iOS app, then compare their current layout with the iSH toolbar. Determine how the ESC and function-key text buttons are represented and how arrow keys are grouped. Done means the toolbar uses icons, arrow keys share one directional control, and the resulting layout is more space-efficient and usable.
