Commit for Chrome OS Points to The Floating Virtual Keyboard Being Enabled by Default
A new commit in the Chrome OS Gerrit points to the floating virtual keyboard being enabled by default when you enter into tablet mode on your compatible Chromebook. The feature leverages existing flags that you can find in the Stable Channel today, but this commit make the default behavior change.
Today, if you go chrome://flags/#enable-floating-virtual-keyboard you can enable the floating virtual keyboard on your Chromebook. Then, when you go into tablet mode, the keyboard can be moved from fixed to floating using the overflow menu (the three vertical dots). You’ll also find several other virtual keyboard flags to play with if you do a search for “virtual keyboard” on the flags page.
