Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raycast.com\/ios\">the iPhone version<\/a> includes a full keyboard as well, and among its many features is a dedicated row for numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not having a number row is my biggest pet peeve with the iPhone&#39;s built-in keyboard, so now I&#39;m using Raycast instead. The Raycast keyboard has some other helpful features as well, like haptic feedback instead of audible taps and the ability to add a comma or apostrophe next to the keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By default, though, Raycast has a bunch of AI features and other gunk you may not want. Here&#39;s how I&#39;ve set it up to get that stuff out of the way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the Raycast app and go to &quot;Keyboard.&quot;<\/li>\n<li>Mode tab: Select &quot;Primary.&quot;<\/li>\n<li>Custom Keys tab: Change Leading Button to &quot;Search.&quot; Disable Dictation Button. Disable &quot;Show Action Row.&quot; Change &quot;Snippet Modifier&quot; to a comma. Enable &quot;Show Period Key.&quot; Drag the period to the left of the space bar.<\/li>\n<li>Typing tab: Enable &quot;Dedicated Number Row.&quot; Change &quot;Key Haptic Feedback&quot; to Medium. Disable &quot;Key Sound.&quot;<\/li>\n<li>Features tab: Enable &quot;Show iOS Dictation Button.&quot;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/raycastkeyboard.jpg\" alt=\"raycastkeyboard.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make sure you&#39;re always using the Raycast keyboard, head to Settings &gt; General &gt; Keyboard &gt; Keyboards. Hit the edit button, drag Raycast to the top of the list, and consider deleting the standard keyboard. (I kept the one for Emoji.) You can always use &quot;Add New Keyboard&quot; to add it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The one actual Raycast feature I&#39;m using is Snippets, which can turn short strings of characters into a longer ones. For instance, you can make a simple snippet that enters your email address when you type &quot;@@&quot; or a more involved one that fills out an entire email template. If you use Raycast on Windows or Mac, signing up for a one-week Pro trial in the iPhone lets you sync all your desktop snippets over. Just make sure to cancel afterwards if you don&#39;t actually need the subscription.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#39;ve written at length about Raycast, whose Windows and Mac apps offer a suite of powerful keyboard-based commands.
