# Summary
The "add task" screen should have a standard texting keyboard.

# Discussion
The "add task" screen should have the standard keyboard that appears in the texting app. I understand that the current keyboard provides somewhat quicker access to the special characters (@ for context and + for project), but the current keyboard is very frustrating. The majority of time spent on the screen is task text input, not necessarily entering special characters. My muscle memory (and I'm assuming most iPhone users) has been built off the standard keyboard. As task entry is a primary function, I feel the keyboard should be standard.

In addition, the button test at the top-right of the "add task" screen should read "add," not "done," as done has special meaning in todo.txt touch.

I'll claim this if we agree it's a valid issue.
