Permanent Keyboard On Computer While Gaming On Console?

The only way that I've found to type text onto my xbox one with a keyboard without directly connecting a keyboard to the console is to have smartglass open on my computer. The trouble is that the typing field only pops up on my computer to allow me to input
anything whenever I select a typing field on my xbox one...and sometimes I even have to do that twice before smartglass will recognize that I'm in a text field. Not only that...the smartglass app doesn't default to allow me to type right away either. I have
to click in the tying field on my computer in order to even start typing. That wouldn't be a problem though if I could just keep the typing field up at all times on smartglass without it disappearing whenever I deselect the typing field on the xbox one.

Does anyone know how to keep a permanently visible typing field in smartglass or anything else to help remedy this problem?

REDUCE COST FOR GAMING USING BETTER GAMEPAD CONTROLLER

hi,

I am Godwin.. a Microsoft gamer... I believe we are all gamers in the house.. I observed that Microsoft games these days on computer does not support external controller like gamepad for computer, steering for computer car-racing etc. The only accepted control
is the keyboard and the mouse at time. Gaming this way will depreciate our laptop/desktop keyboard faster, especially when used by children. This will call for frequent change in computer keyboard/mouse. This will increase the cost of gaming over the computer,
but using a gamepad, u can enjoy gaming like playing your Xbox or PlayStation.

I remember when I game on older version of windows, like windows XP, windows 7, I play soccer and car race frequently with gamepad and Microsoft steering. These games MIDTOWN MADNESS supports gamepad, keyboard, steering. playing with gamepad and steering
was just best for gamers playing MIDTOWN madness. Grandtheft etc.

Computer USB Gamepads are built strictly for computer gaming and the durability is high compare with the keyboard or mouse.

I will employ gamers and developers to look into this method of gaming and proffer better options for game control.

 

existing user, new xbox live

Can I set it up on the computer or do I have to do it from the xbox while signed in to the user? It's just easier to use a keyboard.
