The main features are:

  • Responsively uses UITextInputAssistantItem on iPad and UITextInputView on iPhone.
  • Scrollable input accessory view with blurry background and customizable buttons.
  • Grouping buttons into a visually related button group.
  • Supports Auto Layout and Safe Area.
  • Supports dark mode.
  • Provides built-in pre-defined buttons with SF Symbol.
  • Supports presenting UIMenu on input accessory view.
  • Control state of identified buttons independently.

// Create view model array of key button groups
let keyButtonGroups: [KeyboardAccessoryButtonGroup] = [
    // Group is just an array of `KeyboardAccessoryButton`. Group elements will be visually 
    // grouped and close to each other.
    [

        KeyboardAccessoryButton(type: .undo, position: .leading) { [weak self] in
            self?.undo()
        },
        // Create button with UIImage that will be collapsed in an overflow menu on iPad
        KeyboardAccessoryButton(image: UIImage(named: "img"), position: .overflow),
    ],
    [
        // Create button with title

        KeyboardAccessoryButton(type: .link, menu: createInsertMenu()),
