Lenovo Chromebook Pop-Up Keyboard Problem.

[Kidorry 189]

As the title reads I have a problem because I have disabled the on screen keyboard but I still keep getting a different pop up keyboard on screen. Different shape and different colour along the full width of the screen. Can anyone tell me how to shift this because it is getting on my nerves.  I tried to show you a photo but I do not know how.

I did what you suggested and turned the on-screen keyboard off, but, a different one appears.

 

Got it sorted. It was the virtual keyboard on chrome which I disabled at the top of the web page I was on. The icon was at the top right hand side of the web page and it looked like a blob of ink, that is as near as I can describe it. Cheers for your help.

That's an interesting one, not seen that myself - maybe it's a Chromebook specific thing, and not 'chrome'

glad you got sorted anyhow

When I clicked on the icon it said extensions and the virtual keyboard was in that. I have had the chromebook for a while now and that is the first time it has happened. I powerwashed  the chromebook a couple of days ago and maybe that was the problem.

Extensions, could be a chrome extension then....  

When you have chrome browser open, click the 3 dots in the top right, then "More Tools" and "Extensions" - you should be able to enable/disable (or even remove it) from there... if it's a chrome extension...

Thanks for that information and I have just done what you suggested and removed it along with a couple of other things I will never use. At the side of the 3 dots is the ink blob I mentioned which takes you straight to the extensions. Cheers.

ah, 'ink blob' - i see... It's actually a Jigsaw Piece I believe...

representing an extension  or "plug-in"
