I have to use autocorrect, as I have poor single-handed accuracy and I usually type with only a single hand. With two hands, I’m largely fine. But toggling autocorrect whenever I intend to use two hands is just out of the question.

And iOS can only theme a keyboard, there are no meaningful changes available on the AppStore, and the jailbreaking scene has all but completely ceased its work. But it’s nice to know that other people have options

Huh I was sure you could change it on iOS. Sorry about the bad advice.

You can make the iOS keyboard narrower by holding the globe icon in the bottom-right and choosing which side you want it to group towards.

The third-party keyboard options in iOS really aren't just theming; they behave completely differently. Check out TypeWise or SwiftKey.

The issue with the holding shortcut is that it costs more time than it saves. If there were a simple gesture, like swiping from a->l or vice versa then I’d do it in a heartbeat. Holding, choosing, occasionally misclicking, missing the button slightly and just losing seconds entirely, etc.. it’s just a poor implementation. And I checked both keyboards, and a few others, and none really remedy this. Unless I want to learn how to swipe, I’m stuck. And I can’t balance my phone and swipe. They’re too big and heavy nowadays!
