I hope this continues to hold the developer’s attention and keeps working. Several people have asked me for the link over the years I’ve used it.

When I opened my calculator App a screen appeared to install the special character keyboard. I followed the directions and could not see how to get back to the calculator screen. You just close the special keyboard app and reopen the calculator app.

Just what I was looking for. Read some of the complaints, and they are without merit. Played around with the keyboard app and found out how to do a lot of things. For instance, you can place an empty button in your favorites to use as a space. Place it in front of your other favorites to always have it handy. To make an empty button, tap on favorites star on left, tap on plus sign on right, tap on the right pointing “arrow” next to dialog box that comes up, then tap on the checkmark. To place it in the front of other favorites, tap on delete symbol, then tap and HOLD on empty button, and move to beginning of favorites. Piece of cake!
