## 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
## Using the Suggestion Banner
If a [dictionary is installed](installing-dictionaries) and enabled for the active Keyman keyboard, the banner will display suggestions that can be selected.

* Drag the banner horizontally to see more suggestions
* Overly-long suggestions are partially hidden, but expand when a finger is held on them
* Banner displays up to 8 suggestions
## The Keyman Themed Banner
When suggestions are disabled or unavailable, the Keyman-themed banner will display instead. This is displayed so popups and gestures for the top row of keys are visible.
