my keyboard was split and at the bottom of my screen and all of the sudden quit and is back in the middle, how do i get it back?
iPad, iOS 7.1
I don't think you can. I get split, merge or dock and merge
I don't get the option to split and dock
I have read that some users claim that they can split the keyboard and get it to stay at the bottom of the screen. It might be possible, but it's not a built in feature as Skydiver has already explained. It's a fluke or a bug if you are successful in getting it to work again.
Just keep trying. I know I can't do it, but I could really care less about it anyway since in never split the keyboard for any reason at all.
Like this?
yes i seen a tip on yahoo and it worked but now it's moved back to the top
Just take both of your thumbs and start from the middle of the keyboard and slide them apart to split the keyboard, the options given by holding the bottom in the bottom right only give the option to split and put it in the middle of the screen.
This gesture seems to be almost like a "hidden option" if you know what I am saying.
i don't know what i did but i used my thumbs to split apart and it stayed at the the bottom of the screen
yes, it is possible. instead of using the menu to split the keyboard use a gesture.
start with the keyboard docked and merged. put two finger down near the g and h keys and sweep them apart to the sides. you should end up with a split keyboard that stays at the bottom.
Yep, i just did it on mine and it works.
in fact I think it is a bug that the menu doesn't work this way too - at least according to the manual choosing split from the menu should leave it docked (but doesn't!)
I vaguely remember it working that way in the past. But in any case the gesture works, and is easier than fiddling with the menu anyway.
When you have the keyboard in the 'split' option, via the Keyboard, holding down the Botton and selecting 'split', when you go to marge it back, it gives the command of "Merge and Dock". This says to me, that when you choose 'split' that it will split and go centre screen. If it was to stay at the bottom, it would just say "Merge" with the Dock, so im thinking its not a Bug, its intended, and Apple wrote the Manual wrong.
Its easier to write words in a Manual, than it is to write code to have it 'split' and 'docked'. So it seems a intentional thing to have in mid screen IMHO anyways.
You can select an undocked keyboard on the very right edge (takes practice) and move it up and down the screen and it will remain where you place it until you dock it again, this includes placement at the bottom, it is not very easy to do but is possible, I grab mine next to the gap of shift and keyboard button.
I'm thinking I should start following you around. Good call. Obviously, I had no idea that this was possible. 🙂
...
I have a secret advantage ... I read the manual! ;->
Meanwhile I am still shaking my head over calibrating the Home button (different thread). Who knew?
Have a good day Demo.
You have a good one as well. 🙂
