IQKeyboardManager
IQKeyboardManager is an iOS keyboard management library and UI layout utility. It automatically adjusts screen layouts to prevent the software keyboard from covering text input fields.
The project provides a customizable keyboard toolbar component with navigation buttons and action triggers. It enables focus management, allowing users to move between text fields via the return key or toolbar controls.
The library covers keyboard layout coordination, including touch-based dismissal and offset configuration. It also includes a system for managing keyboard behaviors and appearance on a per-class or per-screen basis, and supports adding placeholder text to multi-line text views.
