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

Following was the question by other user

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

HOW TO DISABLE THE ONSCREEN KEYBOARD on iPad Pro while using external keyboard. This such a pain. why does the on screen keyboard pop up and take up half the screen when theres already a keyboard connect?!?!? I’ve gone through settings under keyboard and accessibility keyboard also… I’ve tried the below: Settings > General > Keyboard > [All Keyboards] Shortcuts - set to OFF Settings > General> Keyboards > All Keyboards, and turn off the Shortcuts and Predictive toggles. Setting > Accessibility - Touch - Assistive Touch - under Pointer Devices you have to switch off 'Show Onscreen Keyboard'. Could someone please help? Thanks

Can’t find how to stop on-screen keyboard from popping up, after reset of iPad Pro While running thru debug steps with Apple Support when my pointer went dead, we may have changed some settings that I don’t remember. (In the end the whole problem was simply a dirty connection between iPad and Magic KB!) Since a whole reset in the debug attempt, the on-screen keyboard keeps coming up blocking half my screen. I rarely ever need the on-screen keyboard and have gone thru every setting I can think of to turn it off, but it persists. Anyone know how to turn it off? Tks.
