How do you do this with split view and apple pencil?

[burts]

Sometimes I accidentally make one of my safari tabs small and it goes into a semi split view with one overlapping the other…. When this happens my only knowledable solution is to swipe the small window to the right and make it dissapear thus losing the tab….

How do I make the split view go away and move the narrow split view window back into my tabs?



Another question I have pertains to the apple pencil 2 on a ipad pro 12 inch…..

On occassion I use my apple pencil in safari to scroll the screen etc, maybe try and write something by accident and the normal keyboard on the bottom dissapears and the apple pencil task bar on the bottom appears…. At this point I put the pencil away on my ipad and the charge register appears…However im still frustratingly stuck with the apple pencil taskbar on the bottom and my big keyboard no longer appears..

I'd welcome a better way to handle the first situation you describe (accidental Slide Over window), but here's what I do to fix it (in iOS 14, with a 12,9" iPad - this might not work on smaller iPads that don't allow true 50-50 Split View):

1) Drag the Slide Over window to the edge of the screen so that it switches into Split View with your original Safari window
2) Create a new tab in the former Slide Over window, so that the tab bar appears
3) Drag the original tab from the former Slide Over window over to your original Safari window tab bar
4) Get rid of the Slide Over window

I haven't run into the second problem you mentioned, but trying it out just now I couldn't figure out an elegant way to remedy it. Exiting to the home screen and then opening Safari got rid of the Scribble controls and gave me access to the normal keyboard, though.

Tab and hold the "+" in the top-right corner in Safari, then tab "Merge All Windows".

Tab and hold the "+" in the top-right corner in Safari, then tab "Merge All Windows".

In iOS 14 the "Merge All Windows" option appears to be available when tapping and holding the "View Open Tabs" button (overlapping squares icon) instead of the "+" one.

In any case, thanks for pointing this out!
