Add a numeric keypad and make it selectable in the language switch mechanism
Sometimes it would be very helpful to switch the virtual keyboard layout to a numeric keypad layout. It should contain numbers fro 0 to 9 and in addition at least comma and point.
This request contains two ways to provide the keypad:
Provide the keypad option in the dialogue that is shown at the virtual keyboard while long pressing space. Usually it's made for switching the layout and suggestions to support other languages. E.g. you can switch from English to German keyboard layout. The numpad should be one of these options.
Provide a mechanism for app developers that makes it possible to provide the numeric keypad layout depending on the input field. E.g. for input fields that are made for entering credit card numbers or your age.
