- the upper case/lower case characters are not reflected in the keyboard itself
- you can not make the upper case shift functionality permanent
Safari app, english keyboard, ?123, search in the page
App store search
Maps search

Custom keyboard additions for special text editing cases
Below is a selection of custom keyboards designed for editing source code of various languages and environments, standard approach is to allow an application specific palette containing the extra functionality to be attached to the top edge of the on screen keyboard.
In this source code editor, note the extra row with commonly used source code characters. The developer here has increased the character density by implementing a custom joystick like behaviour where touching a key and releasing triggers the middle character, but touching and sliding in any of the NE SE SW NW directions triggers a character in a key corner.
This Lua source environment has a custom keyboard strip that adds more advanced features than just extra characters, several of these keys pop-up palettes with symbols and context sensitive help.
Another example of a python source code editor with a custom keyboard strip.
Custom keyboard strip for a Java Processing environment.
Extra key strip for this ssh console terminal emulator.
A simple text editor uses an extra keyboard strip for providing easy access to commonly used punctuation (even though they are accessible through extra key presses with the standard keyboard).
