Minor improvment needed

When Caps Lock is enabled, not all letters are being displayed in uppercase in the view. Could you please fix this? Other than that, it worked well for me.

Vibe coded and laughably bad

Let's not even talk about the app's settings UI! The top has three huge buttons, a tab, a "second" shift key, and a huge backspace key with tiny symbol making the keyboard horrendously tall.
The num keys are on top, but also inside the secondary layouts. There is a caps lock because the two shift keys present can't do it, so that takes extra space and so the symbol toggle takes up half of spacebar.
No ctrl/cmd, no alt, no esc. Good luck typing on a terminal which I assume the dev never used.
The best part is that there are no arrow keys, despite having an actual toggle button for the arrow keys, just amazing!! I wish this was the end of it, but I am not writing a blog here.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback. The first version was built around larger touch targets and a visible number row, but I understand it can feel too tall. Iโ€™m adding keyboard size options, a number-row toggle, and a Caps display fix so keys visibly switch case. iOS limits some Esc/Cmd-style shortcuts for third-party keyboards, but your feedback is useful and Iโ€™ll keep improving it.
