That's many issues, but I don't think opening many issues in the tracker will help :)

- I hate it each time (after a reboot) when I ask for the keyboard and ot decides to turn my screen to landscape mode.
It would be much more friendly to have auto orientation switch based on sensors (not having them is so "last century" anyway...).
- that default keyboard is too large, even in landscape mode: it is truncated in the middle of the "i" in "Shift", that makes it unusable in addition to be unfriendly :}
- the UI change that only say "change keyboard" in the menu in the place where there is usually a "keyboard" submenu is disturbing. OK it seems to happen when we can tap the title bar to make the keyboard appear, but that is not obvious to start with, the icon to do that has several incarnations (what for ?), and the hard-to-tap dropdown menu next to it that allows to change layout directly is what we should have in the "keyboard" menu to start with, instead ot the "next layout" thing that drives me mad each time I see it
- 2 layout names are translated identically in french, I'll see it I can find where those translations live
- it is not possible to get a keyboard in a date field (eg. in "set date" dialog)
