After you’ve enabled the keyboard, you can split it. You can either split it by using the zoom out gesture directly on the keyboard (two-finger swipe in a spread out gesture) or you can use the Keyboard key.

- Press and hold the Keyboard key in the lower right corner of the keyboard.
- While your finger is still on the key, swipe up and tap Split.
