On screen keyboard in minecraft

My question: How do you turn off the on-screen keyboard while playing Minecraft bedrock/Xbox one edition?

After the most recent Xbox update, the on-screen keyboard appears while a USB keyboard is plugged in while playing Minecraft. This is an issue as it does not allow for proper use of coding of command blocks, inputting creative commands, and completely breaks the in-game chat as a whole. This hasn't happened in the past and I'm assuming that since it's the on-screen keyboard causing the problem that it's the Xbox operating system and not Minecraft. This needs to be addressed ASAP, I'm a Minecraft content creator as well as my wife, we create content together where she plays on Xbox and I on PC/Xbox. we have tried to use the old Companion app to "Turn off the on-screen keyboard" and it doesn't work since the program was replaced with 2 other apps including Game Bar. so we need another option to turn it off, or this needs to be fixed as a whole.

Please open the on-screen keyboard:

- Go to Start > Search and click on on-screen keyboard.

- Then, please open Minecraft in window mode (not fullscreen) and see if you can play it using the on-screen keyboard.

This will let us know if this is an issue with Minecraft not recognizing keyboard inputs or if this is an issue with your particular keyboard (maybe the driver).

I don't know how, but Minecraft automatically got fixed without censoring keyboard. Thanks for answering my question.

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

This is a major issue for creators and needs to be resolved ASAP.

As somebody who uses a lot of commands and sometimes relies on the on-screen help for building commands it's very disruptive to my flow. I have trouble stringing thoughts together a lot so this getting in the way of my goals in game is another unnecessary challenge I have to put myself through on every command I type. Using m&k to build this current issue is 'fiddly' due to; typing the command, looking for errors, entering the on-screen keyboard to correct any errors, having to correct said errors, pressing enter to confirm changes and then going to the bottom right enter button on the chat bar and manually clicking it. It is a lot of work to type in one playsound command or clone command.

Please make this QoL change as soon as possible its incredibly inconvenient.

As a Bedrock player who uses the on-screen keyboard with controller, this update even hurts me. All of the aforementioned problems included, and I can't even see whether what I'm writing fits on the page in my book and quill. I use this book and quill in survival to record coordinates and this makes reformatting and retyping so much harder for no reason. No one asked for a new type of keyboard, there should at least be a toggle to bring the useful one back.
