The Problem:
You or your students have a keyboard showing up on your screen, even though you are not using a touchscreen and have no desire to use your mouse to type.What’s Happening?
Chrome OS has numerous accessibility features built into the operating system. One of those features is an on-screen keyboard.You will see a hand next to the time in the lower right corner if accessibility features - like ChromeVox, on-screen keyboard, high contrast mode, or screen magnifier - are turned on. If the on-screen keyboard is also enabled, they you will see an icon of a keyboard there as well.
How do I fix it?
Select Settings. Scroll down to the bottom and select “Show advanced settings…”.
Scroll down until you see the “Accessibility” section.
Uncheck “Enable On-screen keyboard”
Close the Settings window.
You can also turn it off by clicking on the hand, clicking on “Accessibility”, and clicking on “On-screen keyboard” to uncheck it.
If you still want the on-screen keyboard turned on, but just want to hide it, then you can click on the button in the bottom right corner of the on-screen keyboard.
