To remove the on-screen keyboard from your Chromebook, you need to disable it within the settings. The physical keyboard, which is part of the Chromebook's hardware, cannot be physically removed.

Here’s how to remove the on-screen keyboard:

  1. Locate the Settings: Click on the time located at the bottom right corner of your screen. This opens a quick settings panel. Then, click on the settings gear icon to open up Chromebook's full settings.
  2. Find Accessibility Options:
    • In the settings menu, scroll down and select "Accessibility".
  3. Disable On-Screen Keyboard:
    • Look for the "Keyboard and text input" section.
    • Find the option labeled "On-screen keyboard."
    • Click on the toggle switch next to "On-screen keyboard" to turn it off. According to the reference, after turning it off, "it's gone and it will no longer be popping up."

By following these steps, you will remove the on-screen keyboard. This action will stop it from automatically appearing on your Chromebook screen.
