Customize your WordBoard keyboard: button size, order, and folders
WordBoard is not a fixed grid of keys. You can make buttons bigger or smaller, put your most-used keys at the top, remove the ones you never tap, and group everything into folders. Here is how each of those settings actually works.
Quick answer
Go to the More tab in WordBoard to change how many rows of buttons show on screen: fewer rows means bigger buttons, more rows means smaller buttons and more keys visible at once. To reorder keys, tap Edit in the top right, drag keys into place with the grabbers, then tap Done. To delete a key, either use that same reorder view and tap the minus icon, or swipe on a key and choose delete. Folders keep different sets of keys separate so you are not scrolling through everything at once.
Make buttons bigger or smaller
WordBoard shows 3 rows of buttons by default. That is a balance between button size and how many keys fit on screen, but it is not the only option.
- Fewer rows, bigger buttons. Switch to 2 rows in the More tab to make each button larger and easier to hit, useful if you are typing one-handed or have a smaller set of keys you rely on constantly.
- More rows, smaller buttons. Switch to 4 or 5 rows to compress the layout and fit more keys on screen without scrolling, useful once a folder gets a large snippet library.
There is no single correct setting. A folder of a handful of canned replies works well as 2 large rows. A folder full of emoji or kaomoji favorites usually works better dense, at 4 or 5 rows.
Reorder your keys
Keys do not have to stay in the order you created them. To rearrange a folder:
- Tap Edit in the top right of the folder.
- Use the grabbers on each key to drag it up or down into the position you want.
- Tap Done to save the new order and return to the standard view.
Put your most-used keys near the top of each folder so they are reachable without scrolling, especially in folders you open several times a day. Reordering is a Pro feature and is not available on the free 6-key version.
Delete keys you do not use
There are two ways to remove a key you no longer need:
- From the reorder view. Tap the reorder button in the top right, then tap the minus icon next to any key to remove it.
- Swipe to delete. Swipe across a key's row and choose delete from the menu that appears.
Both remove the key immediately, so it is worth pruning folders occasionally rather than letting outdated snippets pile up.
Group keys into folders
Folders keep unrelated keys apart, for example a Sales folder, a Support folder, and a Kaomoji folder, instead of one long scrolling list. Create a new folder from the main screen and move keys into it to keep each set focused on one job. Combined with row count and ordering, folders are what make a large key library still fast to use: dense rows for a big reference folder, larger rows and a tidy order for the handful of replies you use every day.
Move a key to a different folder
If a key ends up in the wrong folder, you do not need to delete and recreate it. Move it directly:
- On the My Keys screen, tap the sort icon in the top right to enter edit mode.
- Tap the small folder icon next to the key you want to move.
- Choose the destination folder from the Move to Folder list that appears.
This is the fastest way to reorganize as your key library grows, for example moving a canned reply out of a general folder and into a dedicated Sales or Support folder once you have enough of them to justify the split.
FAQ
- How do I make WordBoard's buttons bigger? Go to the More tab and choose 2 rows. Fewer rows means larger individual buttons.
- How do I fit more keys on screen at once? Choose 4 or 5 rows in the More tab. More rows means smaller buttons and more visible at a time.
- How do I change the order of my keys? Tap Edit in the top right of a folder, drag keys into place using the grabbers, then tap Done.
- How do I delete a key? Swipe across the key and choose delete, or tap the reorder button and tap the minus icon next to it.
- Can I reorder keys on the free version? No. Reordering keys requires WordBoard Pro; the free 6-key version does not include it.
- How do I move a key to a different folder? Tap the sort icon on the My Keys screen to enter edit mode, tap the folder icon next to the key, then choose the destination folder.
