Description Micah 2016-05-14 19:14:32 UTC
I'm working on a i5 tablet with a bluetooth keyboard built into its case.  It's very distracting to have the onscreen keyboard pop up automatically when the bluetooth keyboard is paired.

I have tried disabling the onscreen keyboard in the accessibility menu, but that doesn't help...

My expectation would be that if a bluetooth keyboard is paired, the onscreen keyboard should follow the setting in accessibility.

Even when a bluetooth keyboard is not paired, it seems like there should be some more fine-grained controls about when the keyboard appears.  Sometimes I am doing work where I want to manually control the keyboard appearance.
