External Keyboard - How To Disable Keyboard Icon Shortcut

[A4orce84]

Hello Everyone,

I have a Logitech Combo Touch keyboard I am using with my iPad (running iPadOS 18.3.1), and I have the annoying keyboard shotcut icon at the bottom right.

I found the following post on how to disable it, but it did NOT work for me:

Does anyone know how to remove the keyboard shortcut while using an external keyboard with iPadOS? Thanks!

Are you able to swipe it over to the other side of the screen?

I see three dots on the keyboard portion of that icon, implying there is an underlying menu. Are you able to “right click” on those dots and see if there is a way to disable the overlay? CMD+click perhaps?

I just tried swiping that icon on my iPad.. and you can indeed swipe it to another part of the screen. There is also a menu that appears when you long-press that overlay.

Sure, I can move it (swipe it) to the other side (which is fine) of the screen, but I want to completely disable it if possible. Is there a way to turn it off completely?

I haven’t verified it myself as I regularly use that floating keyboard window, but there's a solution on that Reddit thread you posted. Let me know if that works! If not, I'll keep digging.

Settings > General > Keyboards, there disable Shortcuts and Predictive.

The Reddit solution does not unfortuantely. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

Odd that it's not working for you. I just tried it for myself, that solution worked fine.

Do all of your other settings look like these?
