Christina, It sounds like you might be discussing issues with both the Fleksy spacebar and minimal keyboards so I'll do my best to interpret correctly.
With the Fleksy spacebar keyboard active. the bottommost row has these keys from left to right, the numbers key which a touch will switch to the numbers keyboard, the Fleksy magic button pictured with a globe which allows you to switch keyboards with a touch or does something else with a touch depending on your settings, a long spacebar which takes up most of the screen space, a period key which inserts a period with a touch, and the return or enter key which enters a new line with a touch. If you touch and hold the magic button, the period, or the return keys, either additional options or an alternative action will occur depending on the key pressed and held as follows: the magic button will offer switch keyboard, insert a comma, switch to emoji keyboard, dismiss keyboard, or turn autocorrect off if you press and hold it and slide your finger up and across and release on the option you want; the period which is immediately to the right of the spacebar will offer 4 or 5 additional punctuation options if pressed and held followed by a finger slide and release as previously described; and the return or enter key when held even a bit longer than a quick touch will bring up the emoji keyboard. I suspect you are holding your finger down on the return button a bit too long which is causing the emoji keyboard to appear when you really wanted to insert a new line. I'll admit that the gestures to move between numbers, symbols, and letters through a single finger swipe right on the shift key while using the minimal Fleksy keyboard is more than a little inconsistent. I find that a quick, snap sort of right swipe seems to work the best but s I say, it is inconsistent and you'll just have to develop a methodology that works for you.

I can get around better this time but I still can't type out a complete sentence. LOL! I keep having to delete and then I delete and 30 minutes later, I give up and use dictation. Anyways, My key to switch from Emoji back to letters works. The only thing I can think of is to clear your app switcher and turn your phone off for a bit and then restart it. Alternatively you could try turning voice over off and then back on again to see if the button will work. BTW, I also, keep activating the emoji keyboard with the return key. I thought it was supposed to be some kind of swipe but it does not seem to matter, the slightest touch seems to switch me over to emoji. Alternatively, when I try to use the shift key in minimal mode to switch to numbers/symbols I can't seem to make it happen by swiping on shift key. ha ha, I just can't consistently make the switch from letters to numbers and back again with the shift key while in minimal keyboard. I haven't given up yet though. If I had never used the original stand alone Fleksy keyboard and had such a superb experience I would have given up a long time ago.

I am using the large size keyboard with the spacebar showing. I found, what I believe is a return key in the lower right, but this also seems to bring me to the emoji keyboard. This is a bit annoying, but not a big deal. The problem is, the key in the lower left that says return to letters, I cannot activate. I have tried double tapping, triple tapping, I tried placing my finger on it & lifting up. Any suggestions? :) > > I will say, I am having much better success with the keyboard this time around.
