Answer 1

Here are the type of keyboard in Swift 4.2

// UIKeyboardType
//
// Requests that a particular keyboard type be displayed when a text widget
// becomes first responder. 
// Note: Some keyboard/input methods types may not support every variant. 
// In such cases, the input method will make a best effort to find a close 
// match to the requested type (e.g. displaying UIKeyboardTypeNumbersAndPunctuation 
// type if UIKeyboardTypeNumberPad is not supported).
//
public enum UIKeyboardType : Int {


    case `default` // Default type for the current input method.

    case asciiCapable // Displays a keyboard which can enter ASCII characters

    case numbersAndPunctuation // Numbers and assorted punctuation.

    case URL // A type optimized for URL entry (shows . / .com prominently).

    case numberPad // A number pad with locale-appropriate digits (0-9, ۰-۹, ०-९, etc.). Suitable for PIN entry.

    case phonePad // A phone pad (1-9, *, 0, #, with letters under the numbers).

    case namePhonePad // A type optimized for entering a person's name or phone number.

    case emailAddress // A type optimized for multiple email address entry (shows space @ . prominently).

    @available(iOS 4.1, *)
    case decimalPad // A number pad with a decimal point.

    @available(iOS 5.0, *)
    case twitter // A type optimized for twitter text entry (easy access to @ #)

    @available(iOS 7.0, *)
    case webSearch // A default keyboard type with URL-oriented addition (shows space . prominently).

    @available(iOS 10.0, *)
    case asciiCapableNumberPad // A number pad (0-9) that will always be ASCII digits.
