How to disable on-screen keyboard when using Smart Keyboard with iPad?

My on-screen keyboard pops up in every app when using the Smart Keyboard, seems to me it should be disabled if you’re using a Smart Keyboard (made by Apple at that) - any suggestions?

iPad Air, iOS 13

Figured it out - when using a mouse with iPad in Accessibility - Touch - Assistive Touch - under Pointer Devices you have to switch off ‘Show Onscreen Keyboard’. Voila!
