Formatting controls are now hidden

[scb 3]

The new iOS version has many welcome improvements, but one way in which it has regressed- especially on iPad- is the removal of the formatting controls to a hidden menu.  When writing in outline mode, it used to only require one tap to tab in and tab out. Now, one must Tao to open the formatting menu, tap to tab in or out, and then tap a third time to close the menu.  This is inconvenient and really slows typing. 

At least in horizontal mode, there is a huge empty space available above the keyboard for presenting these controls. I'd like to see some way to return often-used controls to this space.

I agree very, very much!

That's one of the 3 things I dislike the most in the recent update:

1. It is very slow,
2. text formatting is now hidden,
3. tags are hardly accessible and editable.

I learned now not to update anything until others test it and approve.

I can adjust to the new menu locations
It might be that they're using a format that scales to the size factor of iPads and iPhone

I can't do much with the removed features - just not upgrade?

Or just bad design.
