Windows 10: Using surface pro keyboard sideways

I've realised that after updating my Surface Pro 2017 to windows 10 to version 1803, they keyboard is disabled when I rotate the device sideways. There was also a problem with the rotation lock being greyed out when the keyboard is attached, making it difficult to lock the tablet to stay in landscape mode.


I would like to keep using my device in bed while leaning sideways. Is there anyway to keep the keyboard working while the device is held sideways?

Surface Pro Virtual Keyboard Shortcut

First 4 steps above were easy. thank you. Fifth step I didn't find in Region & Language settings category. I searched for keyboard settings but did not find an option to make the change you indicated. Again, are we talking about changes to the Surface
Pro on screen keyboard? Still trying to find that delete key or a shortcut to it which is so helpful in editing text.
