It is my experience that apps which use the keyboard for data entry don't seem to go much out of their way to contain all the data entry fields and controls in the space not taken up by the keyboard. They DO seem to auto-scroll to the control which has the focus, but this should be something aut

What I do is to place every form control in a group and then when a control gets the focus you scroll the group so the field is visible, then when the keyboard is dismissed you scroll the group back to its original position. You can also add user scrolling to the group so the user can scroll up

Not really, basically if you are poking around apple docs and you see there is a notification about something and you need it then you can use mergNotify to get it. For example if you go here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIWindow_Class/UIWindowClassRef
