If you’ve ever tried to thumb type on your iPad (any version) but found it incredibly cumbersome, iOS 5 introduced a way to split your keyboard to make that much easier. You can either place your thumbs in the middle and pull the keyboard apart (reverse the procedure to put it back together) or you can tap and hold on the keyboard toggle at the bottom right to select the Split Keyboard option (do it again to reverse the procedure.)
Something else that’s cool about this, where the keyboard splits, phantom keys exist which will allow you to type a ‘T’ with your right thumb or a ‘Y’ with your left. In fact any of the keyboard items at the split allow this.
Play around with this and let me know if this helped you. Enjoy!
