How can I permanently disable the floating keyboard? It’s a feature I dislike and never want to use.

I tend to move my fingers in ways that activate features of touchscreen usage I don’t need or want. Is there a way to disable some of these things? I’ve already permanently disabled the split screen keyboard option, but I’m wondering what else I can disable?


iPad mini, iPadOS 13

Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off. That also turns off the floating keyboard
