Hi Eric,
That is one of the very reasons that the Open Source Software community
came about. There are hundreds of thousands (maybe several million by now)

that's not app-specific, that could replace the default iPad keyboard. (There
are lots of them for Android.)
I also have Vim on the iPad from the app store
