I am using the online keyboard as well as my BT keyboard with my iPad. Is there any easy way to switch between the keyboards instead of going to settings and tuning BT on and off? For example, when using the BT keyboard sitting at my desk I then get up and go into the den and want to use onscreen but it won't let me. I tried turning the BT keyboard off but that didn't help. The iPad didn't want to display the onscreen keyboard until I went to settings and turned BT off.
 
I saw that someone else on here. I will look for it.
Did you try tapping the right bottom corner of the display?
 
Found it. Hit the eject key on the physical keyboard. It will bring up the virtual one.
 
Eject works, but you have to be in a field typing something. Then eject toggles between the two screens. But if you're just at the home screen and press eject, doesn't seem to have any effect on which keyboard. Kind of a pain.
