Q: Reduce keyboard height

Hello to all,

I recently bought an iPad Pro 9.7. Simply awesome.

But I have a little problem with the height of the keyboard.

At this link is a screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/LWggu

 

As you can see, the writing space is estremanente small, the keyboard takes up a lot of space (height).

You can reduce this height?

Or, there are third-party applications that allow you to change the pitch?

 

Thank you all for any help or suggestions

iPad Pro, iOS 10

    Hi Briansyddall, thanks for the reply but you can not drag the bottom. The keyboard is open or closed.

    But if it is closed I can not write.

    If I misunderstood what you mean, please explain better, thanks a lot

    Try this. Tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner. While holding down, slide your finger up to Dock.

    Hi Demo, thanks,

    I pressed on the little keyboard icon, you get a menu with two menu: "Release" and "Split"

    If I press "Release" the keyboard is positioned at the center of the display.

    If I press on "Split", the keyboard reduces the height but is separated into 2 parts (left and right "and is positioned at the center of the display.

    For example, the screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/l2nPT

     

    Thanks

    I Know what the two options do. I thought that you were saying that the keyboard was up in the middle of your screen. If that's not what you mean, can you explain it in a little more detail?

     

    This is what I see on my iPad Air 2 in landscape mode.

    Only so much of the screen is visible when you invoke the keyboard.

    I apologize for my bad English language.

    To clarify, I have made these examples using Photoshop.

    At this link the keyboard with default height: http://imgur.com/a/x9fKB

    At this link as I would like, roughly: http://imgur.com/a/CGaB6

     

    In my opinion the keyboard is too high, take up much space.

    It makes no sense, in view of landscape, a height so excessive, also caused by overly large buttons.

    It would have been nice if in Settings > Keyboard > "Keyboard height adjustment".

    Or in Landscape view: "Reduce the keyboard height"

    Hi. I'm afraid it"is what it is" and has been for quite a long time. You can make it a little shorter by turning off predictive and shortcuts in Settings > General > Keyboard. That will remove the top band. You can suggest changes to Apple here

    https://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html . You can also look in the app store for a more suitable keyboard. There are quite a few available. Mostly, I just swipe up so I can see the input area.
