## About the Keyboard Banner
Keyman keyboards now always display a banner above the keyboard for one of the following functionalities:
* Display suggestions (See "Using the Suggestion Banner" below)
* Display a Keyman-themed banner so popups and gestures for the top row of keys are visible
* Reserved for future functionality
## Adjusting Text Suggestion Settings
The banner mode can be controlled by going to Keyman Settings --> (select an installed language)
At the bottom of the language settings menu are three controls for the banner:

* Offer word completions (Suggestion banner displays predictions; shows a flat image-banner if disabled)
* Offer corrections (Suggestion banner displays predictions and corrections)
* Apply corrections automatically (Tapping the space bar may automatically apply the best suggestion)
## Using the Suggestion Banner
If a [dictionary is installed](installing-custom-keyboards-dictionaries) and enabled for the active Keyman
keyboard, the banner will display suggestions that can be selected.
![](../ios_images/settings-suggestions-i.png)
* Drag the banner horizontally to see more suggestions
* Overly-long suggestions are partially hidden, but expand when a finger is held on them
* The banner will display up to 8 suggestions at a time.
## The Keyman-Themed Banner
When suggestions are disabled or unavailable, the Keyman-themed banner will display instead.
This is displayed so that key-popups and gestures for the top row of keys are visible.
