iPad on screen keyboard controls

Hi there,

Couldn’t find any threads about this annoying “feature” so far. In iOS14 and above there was keyboard options added to the screen when an external keyboard is used to type stuff. These options are always floating in middle or corner. the problem is it is preventing me to for example click “save” or “send” in many apps as these buttons are also in the same corner, or it covers other information when moved to opposite corner. There doesn’t seem to be an option to just get rid of it for whatever reason - unless I’m missing it?


Any idea how to just disable it?

I’m unable to replicate your problem - but would suggest that you try disabling keyboard shortcuts in settings. This will suppress some items from view:


Settings > General > Keyboard > [All Keyboards] Shortcuts - set to OFF
