Those who do lot of typing on their iPhones, have a fairly sound argument for having dedicated text-editing buttons on your handset’skeyboardinterface; likewise, those who do a lot of texting, may want easier access to Emojis. But what about those who do a lot of both?
For those stuck in the latter case,Shortmojiis a newly released and freejailbreak tweakby iOS developerMiROthat combines the best of both worlds for avid typists and texters who do a lot of both on the same device.
As shown in the screenshot example above, Shortmoji frames all of its text-editing shortcuts and Emoji suggestions around the entire keyboard interface. It takes full advantage of the predictive space at the top and the unused empty space at the bottom to make way for all the new shortcuts.
If you’ve ever used popular tweaks likeBarmojiandDockXbefore, then Shortmoji should look and feel a lot like a hybrid between the two. Shortmoji users, on the other hand, will find that this tweak is a lot more flexible thanks to an extensive preference pane that gets added to the Settings app after installation:

The developer provides a Respring button at the top-right of the preference pane to save all changes you make.
At first glance, and during initial testing, Shortmoji seems like an excellent addition to the iOS keyboard. Notably, it brings a ton of useful functionality to otherwise unused screen real estate that often gets overlooked by normal users, and upon using Shortmoji, you’ll be hard-pressed to want to go back to stock.
