Is it possibly for me to permanently move or hide the software keyboard button in the bottom right of the screen?

This is making the “send” button in all of my chat apps not clickable when I have my smart keyboard connected.

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Minimizing keyboard I can't always minimize keyboard (just started having problems on ebay in their message field, after their recent "upgrade."). If I can't downsize the keyboard, I can't see the "Send" button on the bottom of the screen/field, as it is covered by the keyboard, so I can't send the message I just tried to write! Why doesn't Apple keyboard have a button to downsize/hide keyboard????...would be any easy fix to this problem it appears many of us are having!

Is there a solution to this problem with the keyboard bar in the corner of the screen? I use a Bluetooth keyboard with my first generation iPad Pro. Been using it for years without issue until iPadOS 15. Now I’m encountering an issue where, when using certain apps like Reddit or Discord, the new little bar that pops up in the lower right corner of the screen obscures the “send” button. Now, on Discord, this normally is a non-issue, as I can just press the “enter” key and send my message, but that doesn’t work when writing a Reddit post or comment. Attempting to move the bar to the opposite corner catapults the message box off the screen on both of these apps. This might be an issue with the apps themselves rather than iPadOS 15 per se, but it’d be nice to have the default position of this little widget be reconfigurable in settings – and probably have an option for it to be relocated to somewhere at the top of the screen rather than the bottom. This is the bar on Reddit, so everyone knows what I’m talking about: And the same bar on Discord:

How can I remove this floating menu? How can I remove this floating menu when I´m using a keyboard on my ipad? Gets in the way of send-button on messenger. And its default on the ight hand side, even though it can be moved on the left side.

Yes. You can go to Settings->General->Keyboard and turn off the "Shortcuts" option there.

You can also just drag the shortcut panel to the other corner of the screen to move it off the send button.
