Keyboard Shortcut Bar disappeared

The Shortcut bar (also called Edit, Suggestion, Predictive, Quick Type Bar, etc.) sometimes closes or completely disappears and can't be opened or brought back.

This issue showed up with iOS 9. It takes two different forms.

 

1. The Shortcut Bar closes, but can't be opened by sliding up on the grab handle:

2. The Shortcut Bar disappears completely:

The following workaround resolves the issue for most users.

Open Settings > General > Keyboards > toggle OFF then ON the highlighted options.

Note: Exact Keyboard layout and appearance varies from app to app and not all apps and fields support Shortcut Bar.
