How can I remove this keyboard widget from my iPad’s screen?

[butcherbird]

Hi. Does anyone know how I can remove this annoying little keyboard widget from my iPad’s screen? I have no idea why it suddenly appeared. I am using Apple’s Magic Keyboard that is available for iPads, in case that matters.

The widget appears every time I place my cursor in a text field. It is annoying because:

• It floats directly over buttons in some apps (ie: submitting a comment to a video in the YouTube app)
• It can’t be moved to another corner of the screen
• It’s unnecessary

Thank you!

P.S.: Oddly enough - I tried posting this question to the Apple Support forum first, but the forum keeps timing out immediately & won’t let me post. I’m glad Mac Rumors has a great forum.

Under settings - Generel - Keybord . Find and disable Shortcuts.

I know you didn’t reply to me — I thought I’d try it anyway. Still stuck with the widget on-screen.

Sorry, misread your post. Thought it was the line in the button of the screen.
