You can't change default keyboard of Apple.

But you can select with keyboard type for UITextField or UITextView by set some properties in UITextInputTraits protocol. With email, set to: 

[textView setKeyboardType:UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress];

You can use inputAccessoryView to add some custom keys, refer: dmforminputaccessoryview

Last option is create new Keyboard (UIView subclass) and set it to inputView of UITextView or UITextFied: Custom-iOS-Keyboards

The .com key is added when the URL type keyboard is used: KeyboardManagement

You might as well make use of the inputAccessoryView of the text field, add a UIToolbar to it, and in the toolbar you can add a few buttons you want, including custom .com button.

There is no way you could change default keyboard. and If you anyhow modify it(using private methods) apple will reject your app because it is against apple guidelines.

So the only solution to your problem is create a custom keyboard and then use it. There are few custom keyboards you can use them also :

  1. custom-ios-keyboards
  2. ioscustomkb
  3. how-to-create-a-simple-keyboard-with-custom-navigation-buttons

Hope it helps you.
