How to turn off on screen keyboard?

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

Sadly we don't have this option. A workaround is to press B on the controller to close the keyboard.

* Merged

I use Microsoft edge on Xbox quite a bit and would like to be able to turn off the on-screen keyboard when typing. I use a mouse and keyboard, so I don't

need the on-screen one. As of right now, I can't find a way to turn it off, I just see an option to change the size of the on-screen keyboard, but not turn it off.

I do have the latest Xbox and Edge version.

Here is a screenshot:

Hi Y L. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

The on-screen keyboard is part of the Xbox OS and unfortunately can't be turned off, even if you have a USB keyboard connected. Please reach back if you have further questions.

Even when I don’t have a keyboard plugged in I still have the on screen keyboard showing. This makes it extremely frustrating to play Minecraft bedrock edition, even more so how there is no solution for this but yet on windows 11 there is. I feel like I can’t get anything accomplished because of this ridiculously stupid feature that I’m forced to have.

For the love of God please show me how to turn this off

Unfortunately disabling on-screen keyboard is not possible anymore.
In the past was possible via the Xbox console companion app but now doesn't work
