After installing
- Open Panda Expander once and wait for your private iCloud library to appear.
- Open the Keyboard tab and confirm the keyboard snapshot is ready.
- Open Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard.
- Choose Panda Expander. Do not enable Full Access; it is not needed.
- Use the globe key in any normal text field to switch keyboards.
The keyboard cannot appear in secure password fields, phone-pad fields, or apps that block third-party keyboards. iOS automatically uses a system keyboard there.
How sync works
The containing app syncs through your private CloudKit database and publishes an offline snapshot into the keyboard’s App Group. The keyboard itself makes no network requests and cannot read the pasteboard.
What to test
- Normal typing and tap-to-accept autocomplete.
- Immediate snippets and delimiter snippets.
- Linked fields, multiline fields, menus, and optional sections.
- Snippet search from the panda button.
- Notes, Mail, Messages, Safari, and the apps you write in most often.
