why is the create comment button at the top? (mander.xyz)

Of the many Lemmy clients I've tried, Thunder is the one I like the best, but the one place I have nits is the creating a comment experience.

After typing the comment you have close you keyboard, to have any hope of the create button being visible (if your comment is really short) and then scroll all the way back up to the top. Isn't the bottom the obviously better place for this button?

Even worse, if in trying to scroll the screen, you accidentally hit the little horizontal bar at the top, you just lose your comment.

Finally, it seems to always lose my place in the thread and put me back at the top after entering a comment.

There is an open PR for this feature courtesy of @michamo! https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/700

It's still a WIP so there's no expected release date yet (but should be within the next couple of releases)
