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.
