On xbox while on mircosft edge and on keyboard how do you get rid of the text box on the screen

Hello, Ayaan J. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Is your inquiry about how to hide the on-screen keyboard despite having a physical keyboard connected to your Xbox?

If your answer is affirmative, I regret to inform you, but it's not possible to hide the virtual keyboard even if you have a physical one connected.

However, if you're referring to something else, I appreciate it if you could share a picture of this “text box” you're referring to.

Regards,

Arturo.

Are you able to press A in the text box that appears? Does that make the keyboard pop up on screen?

The features provided are different based on which app you’re using. If you launch the Edge browser, you’ll see a bar with “Microsoft Edge” at the bottom of the screen. You can then tap the remote icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen and you’ll
get an interface that provides buttons for swiping and tapping to control the app, as well as an on-smartphone keyboard when you select a text field.

There is an option to insert text through the smartglass app. If you're on a forum thread via your xbox one, just move your cursor over the green rectangle box and select it. Then the on screen keyboard should appear on your android device for you to input
text.

Hi there!

If the special character is not available on the virtual keyboard, you may instead search it through the Microsoft Edge browser then copy & paste it.

Launch the Microsoft Edge web browser, then search the character. Place your cursor at the start of the text you want to copy by pressing the "A" button twice on your controller to highlight a specific word or character. If you wish to highlight more text, use your left joystick to highlight additional text.

After you have highlighted the text that you want to copy, press the "Menu" button on your controller (the one with three horizontal lines, beneath the Xbox button) and select "Copy" or "Select all."

Head to your messages, or wherever you want to paste the text, select the text box where you want to paste your text, and then press the "Menu" button and click "Paste." The text you copied should appear in the text box.
