Manually invoking keyboard popup in tablet mode


Hi guys,

When in full blown tablet mode (physical type cover completely removed), sometimes I want to initiate the on-screen keyboard to popup, but there is no keyboard icon in the "systray" area. But I can see the keyboard icon in the systray area when I'm in desktop mode.

Is there a way I can have the keyboard icon visible/accessible from within tablet mode??

Not sure if this would work but you could try turning this off:


Hmm that was promising, but no it didn't work.

I turned that option off and then went into tablet mode and there's still no keyboard icon.

Does anyone actually have a keyboard icon in tablet mode?
I.e. is there meant to be one?

Does the touch keyboard not pop up automatically when you invoke any text dialog box?

Right click (hold and release) on the tasks, and select show touch keyboard icon.

doesn't do that anymore, it works like 8 series did when on the desktop, you have to manually bring up the keyboard

on my win 8, they keyboard is a toolbar you need to add (right click taskbar and select toolbars), its not an item in the tray

Right click (hold and release) on the tasks, and select show touch keyboard icon.
Perfect!!! That worked. Thanks.

Had to touch-hold the task bar to get that option.

Cheers.

Brilliant! Thanks for this.

I don't know if the cumulative update I just now did broke something, or if it always was this way, but now running Chrome in tablet mode does not automatically bring up the touch keyboard when I click the address bar. I wish it would...
