Help with Flatlist + InputAccessoryView

[timothyerwin]

Hey,

It looks like you have a lot of interesting stuff here related to the keyboard in React Native.

The current InputAccessoryView in React Native isn't very flexible. For example, it forces safe area insets, hides and shows at random times or just completely disappears and it seems to be affecting the FlatList automatic keyboard inset if you try to use it as a sticky keyboard (Snapchat, Whatsapp, etc) and it generally just feels like it's getting in the way of things like FlatList calculations since it's taking into account also the accessory even if the keyboard is gone.

So my question is, have you addressed all of that in any of your modules or can you comment how I might address these issues?

It looks like this project is mostly self contained, so I'm not sure where I would start besides hacking together some native module directly in my codebase.

Sorry for the long winded rant. Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
