iPad Notes keyboard questions

I just got an iPad mini 5 and both my mini 4 and 5 have ios 15.5. On my mini 5 the keyboard automatically pops up when I go to Notes. I don't want it to pop up until I press on a word or line etc. It doesn't pop up on my mini 4. I just want to scroll around and look for something but I have to turn off the keyboard all the time. Is there a setting that's different?


Also now the regular keyboard shows the numbers across the top. Which is ok but how do you access them? Is there a way without tapping the 123 key? Or what's the purpose of the dim numbers and punctuations up there?

Hi. Sorry I cannot answer your first question.

You can access whatever number or character you see dimmed on your keyboard by putting your finger on a key and pulling it down. That dimmed number should now appear in your note.
