Persistent per-app virtual keyboards

Reported by jhennig....@gmail.com, Jun 17 2018

Issue description

Hey everyone,

I have been puttering around with an idea. Everytime I power up my Pixel book I get some music going with the Spotify Android app, push it over to the left corner, I proceed to check emails with the Gmail app, push it over to the right corner, finally I get on some Linux app or chrome and sandwich it in the center. All the entertainment stuff ends up on the left (Somehow... Is YT music, YT, VLC, etc) then all the messaging ends up on the right.... see image. So I would love it if I could do what is shown in the second image.


So essentially each app has a keyboard for when you decide to swipe text back holding it like a phone while your computer is sitting upright like a tablet...

Thoughts? Also, would it ever be possible?

Summary: Persistent per-app virtual keyboards (was: Keyboard Suggestion)
If I understand correctly, you are looking for multiple keyboards -- one per app, or something like this.
