Is there a way to move the @ key from the numeric keyboard to the alpha keyboard. I do a lot of signing in with my User ID being my email address and I would like to be able to skip having to switch to the numeric kb in order to enter the @ symbol. I’ve noticed that some sites that require my ID and Password bring up a keyboard that has the @ symbol on the alpha layout.

If that is on, why do you think you have to "switch to the numeric kb"? You make @ by just flicking your finger down on the letter key where you see the dim @ symbol. Are you using some keyboard different than English?
There is no way for users to modify Apple’s keyboards. To ask them to make that possible, you can use

How about a text replacement for your email?
If you turn on Key Flicks in your keyboard settings it’s much easier to make @
Let’s say your email address was abcd@icloud.com.
A text replacement might me:
Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement > “+” (at the top)
Phrase = abcd@icloud.com
Shortcut (what you would type) = abcd
Then merely typing abcd could result in your full email address.

Keyflicks is already on. In the meantime I looked at the four different keyboards available and none of them were just right. Isn’t there a way to exchange a key? For instance, my QWERTY that I think I have up now has a ☺️ key two keys left of the space bar. How can I swap the emoji key with the @ key on the ?123 keyboard?
Thanks Tom. For some reason I remembered sweeping up for the ?. I had that reversed. It never dawned on me to sweep down for that and all the gray numbers, etc. I think I’m good now. The text replacement concept looks good for my email address typing. Can I replace the entire address with one action, like typing ”aaa” ?

I will try what you have explained. It’s not totally clear what you are explaining but that is because I’m a little slow.
