Overview
The avoid_keyboard package provides a simple way to manage keyboard avoidance in Flutter apps, allowing specific view regions to adjust when the keyboard appears. Unlike full-screen adjustments, it avoids compressing the entire UI, preserving layout integrity. It works across multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The package is ideal for forms or input-heavy screens where maintaining visual context is crucial during user interaction.
