[Idea] Raise the keyboard on "ruler"/"TV remote" devices

I have just moved to Xperia 10 form Jolla 1 and Xperia XZ1 Compact - wonderful, 4,5' blocky phones. And I can't stand that I have to move my hand and loose proper grip, just to access interface parts or gestures. You can mostly go around them, but the biggest hurdle is the keyboard, which is very problematic. What if the keyboard was higher up? You would loose screen area, but it was fine with other phones, and this would mean you could have both big screen AND comfort of not having to move your hand. I think iOS did that to a lesser extend when they made the screen longer on iPhone X. I would be extremely grateful for an option or a patch like that. image description image description
