I've seen more keyboard layouts and a new keyboard indicator coming in
with OTA-13. So, is there any update on the development status of the
keyboard?

There are at least 3 bugs open for alternative methods of text input:

"Feature: T9 Layout"
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-keyboard/+bug/1545683

"Feature request: gesture keyboard"
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-keyboard/+bug/1484801

"Add speech input, voice input, dictate function for keyboard"
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-keyboard/+bug/1545714

Is there an API already that would allow third-party applications to
plug in into the phone's keyboard?

Is there a chance that any of those 3 features are implemented before
the end of this year?

(Once again, anyone caring for those bugs please cast your vote and
select "Yes, it affects me" on top of each bug report!)

Cheers, Peter
