OKSun 103 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Everytime I start to type a sms or email, the virtual keyboard pops up (although I have the slider open). The virtual keyboard disappears automatically if I start typing on the physical one. Is there a way to avoid the virtual keyboard to pops up at all? I use swiftkey and finqwerty on stock android. Under physical keyboard I have already deactivated the "keep it on screen while the physical keyboard is active" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,421 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Are you on stock android, or some other rom? Du you see the same if you (for test) use the standard keyboard driver, and not Swiftkey? Is it a particular program, or 'any' input field? I use Swiftkey on stock, and do not see this, so I'm almost certain it is a setting somewhere that need to be changed. (the suggestion to de-select swiftkey, to see if it is a setting inside or outside swiftkey we are hunting for...) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OKSun 103 Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Thanks. I am on stock android. I do not experience the issue when selecting gboard instead of swiftkey. So it must be a swiftkey option to find. Good first narrow down. I found the solution now. Swiftkey app> Typing > physical keyboard >Automatically show / hide virtual keyboard must be deselected to avoid the problem I was describing.
