Feature Request: Add ability to lock the keyboard in place and disable “jump to bottom” while scrolling

I’ve been using Blink on my iPhone for quite some time and it’s really great.

One thing I’ve always wished for is the ability to prevent the keyboard from being auto-hidden when scrolling up.

The issue I’ve encountered is that I’ll scroll up to look at older text, which causes the keyboard to hide. From there, I can scroll up or down without the keyboard coming back as long as I ensure that I hold down long enough to scroll. However, if I accidentally touch the screen or don’t hold long enough (like when trying to scroll for one or two lines), it will bring the keyboard back and jump back down to the bottom of the screen, causing me to lose my place in whatever I’m reading.

Phones in portrait mode have a lot of vertical real estate so I don’t mind having the keyboard there all the time.

To extend on this: When this mode is enabled, the screen should/could only jump to the bottom if a key on the keyboard is pressed.
