    And not a 3rd party app either. 




    I think you mean "swiping" type keyboards like Swype or Swiftkey (or similar). I did not see anything like one of these included in iOS 9.

     

    The ability to use 3rd party keyboards has been included since iOS 8--what's wrong with that?

    I did not recall that there is now a two-finger gesture feature that turns the keyboard into a "trackpad." Just tried it, and it is super cool.

     

    I really like the letters changing to upper/lower case too. I couldn't quite keep track of when the shift key lock was on or off.

     

    The new keyboard is definitely better, IMO.

    "Anybody else wish they could go back to the all-caps keyboard?"

    No, with a hardware keyboard you can't change the letters on it to reflect the shift or option keys. On iPad this is a WYSIWYG feature. It is the advantage of software.
