To keep the keyboard active when working across multiple text fields, you can use the inputAccessoryView or the keyboardLayoutGuide. These methods help manage the placement of views in relation to the keyboard, ensuring a smooth user experience.
- Input Accessory View: This docks the view above the keyboard and handles the case when a hardware keyboard is used by docking the view at the bottom of the screen.
- Keyboard Layout Guide: This is useful if you want to customize the placement of views in relation to the keyboard.
