IMAC G5, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
I need the keyboard to stay visible when doing crosswords such as the Guardian cryptics. On Windows, eg in Chrome, the cursor advances one square at a time each time I type a letter. On my iPad, the keyboard disappears after each letter - very annoying. I have to select each letter square individually. So, in response to Julian Wright, there are definitely good reasons to keep the keyboard visible. It would be a very useful feature.
I have a person in the community I volunteer support for that does this same thing. "You can't, it's by design" every time someone says that I'm able to find some way to do exactly what they said couldnt be done. Anyways, usually you wouldn't want to obscure your screen. But maybe you're on a gamer site that has an Easter egg if you randomly type the Konnami code when nothing is focused. Or the site I sent someone that requires keyboard input and it types command line type things as buttons are mashed. it was fun in the context of little kid being like dev dad but we had to break out the laptop because neither of us feel like finding a needle-in-haystack method of writing something to pop it open.
I need to have it displayed while I'm reading a web page.
Thank you so much for your answer MichelPM!!
The question was answered, and the answer hasn't changed - if you are not in a text field in order to enter text the keyboard will not show
How do I force the keyboard to stay open in Safari?
