keyboard size

I have a website that I frequent that is a Jeep owners forum and I can’t get the keyboard to return to full size. I have taken my two fingers and spread them apart on the keyboard and it still stays small. I have fat fingers and you can probably imagine how frustrating it is to try to type on that small keyboard. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried all of those suggestions and none of them worked either. The only way I could get it back to normal size was to totally turn the iPad off and on to reset it. That is not normal I know but that’s the only way I could get it back to normal.

Expanding upon Katana-San’s response…


To easily return the new Floating Keyboard to the normal on-screen keyboard presentation, use the two-finger “zoom” gesture (i.e., the reverse of the two-finger “pinch”).


If the Split Keyboard is restored instead of the full on-screen keyboard, you can either use two fingers (one on each of the two half-keyboards) and swipe the two halves together - or touch-and-hold the “keyboard” key, then slide your finger to the Merge & Dock option and release.
