I did it! One of those things listed above was it but it took a restart to make it happen. Yay!

No - I know that. I'm talking about this new keyboard that has numbers and letters on the same key. You swipe it down to get the number, but it is constantly happening when I don't want it to. I am sure hoping there is a way to get the keyboard to just a normal keyboard.
Nope - already tried that. Someone that knows this iPad and iOS 12.3 surely must have come across this and solved it. There must be a way to get rid of it! I also turned off split keyboard, enable key flicks, shortcuts in case they had something to do with it.
On the keyboard, tap the number key with 123 on the bottom left side to get back to letters. Tap the abc key on the bottom left to get to numbers. You can go back and forth as needed.
Go to Settings > General > Keyboards and see what keyboard you have selected there. The standard keyboard and the one you likely want is English (United States) > Qwerty
