Windows 10: Turn off Onscreen Keyboard when in tablet mode if a bluetooth keyboard is connected.

When I put my X1 Yoga in "tablet mode" BUT am also using a Bluetooth Keyboard, I still get the onscreen keyboard popping up everywhere.The ability to disable tablet mode regardless of my convertible configuration is incredibly necessary.Tablet mode should at least recognize there is another keyboard attached aside from the physical keyboard, and disable the onscreen keyboard if so.This is INCREDIBLY irritating!!! I don't know why Microsoft doesn't think that some of us want to manage our equipment, and give us those options.This is just as bad of a decision as when they changed the pen input f

onscreen keyboard

I have a Dell Latitude 7220 tablet using Windows 10. The device is currently in tablet mode and the onscreen keyboard will not deploy. The keyboard icon is visible in the bottom right hand corner, but nothing happens when you click on it. I have gone in the keyboard settings and checked use your device without a physical keyboard--Use on screen keyboard. In addition, the box under ease of access-keyboard-use onscreen keyboard is also checked.

A floating keyboard is available with the win+ctrl+0 keys, but I am wondering why I cannot have the icon or have an auto pop-up when typing is available. Any suggestions would be wonderful.

Thank you.

 

Windows 10 Onscreen keyboard is on HotKey mode when 2-in-1 is in tablet mode.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

• Since when are you facing this issue?
  
• When you say that everything is fine with real keyboard in desktop mode, do you refer to the physical keyboard?
  
• Does the onscreen keyboard work properly in desktop mode?
  

Please get back to us with the information requested above, so that we can suggest the appropriate troubleshooting steps.



Meanwhile, I would suggest to create a new user account and see if the onscreen keyboard works properly in both desktop and tablet mode. Please refer to the article below.

We look forward for your reply.

Tablet - Google - Onscreen Keyboard question

I had a Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet. When I brought up Google, and clicked the inbox, the onscreen keyboard would appear at the bottom of the screen, and the Google page would change so that the inbox was visible above the keyboard. I'm talking about landscape mode.

I have a new Lenovo tablet, and when I click on the Google inbox, the onscreen keyboard comes up, but the Google page does not change, so the keyboard covers the inbox.

There has to be a setting somewhere (Windows, Google, Browser?) that will make it work again (showing the inbox above the keyboard), but I have no idea where.

Does anyone know?
