So, you forgot your frickin' keyboard and now you're stuck trying to write your screenplay on a virtual keyboard? You can't figure out if you want to use standard or split keyboard? Try both. With a split keyboard you'll first notice, unless you're one of those idiots who text while driving, that it is not easy.
If you try typing normally you may be a little more comfortable, but there is a trade-off, as the key board is too small for standard position. The other problem is you have to break the "don't look at your gol-dern keyboard or I'll smack your knuckles with a pipe wrench" rule Mrs. Woods tried so hard to instill in you in 9th grade.
Both ways are insidious and capable of destroying society. Both are acceptable forms of punishment for writers who say they can't live without their Bluetooth keyboard. Of course, speech-to-text is always an option, but carries with it the sad stigma of insanity, as people often wonder why you're speaking dialog from multiple characters.
The only recourse is to vow never to leave one's bluetooth keyboard ever again, or wait patiently for the digital eyes implant, augmentation you've been writing about for the past few years in your screenplays and novels.
