@Fabio_Morandi This is possible on a touch keyboard, but not on a physical keyboard.

You can make just about whatever configuration you want on touch layouts. Here’s one I put together to assist me in the development and polishing for support of the new gestures landing in 17.0:

It’s definitely not your standard keyboard layout these days.

Hi Joshua,
thanks for answering. I cannot find the way to design the keyboard. Remove unwanted keys and move keys position on layout.

Thanks in advance,
