How can I make the Windows 10 onscreen keyboard stay visible?












1















I can open the on-screen keyboard using the shortcut in the bottom right of my desktop, but as soon as I type any character using my normal, physical keyboard, the on-screen keyboard minimizes.



I would like it to stay visible, to help me practice touch-typing, and to allow me to use the physical and digital keyboard simultaneously. Can I configure it to do so?
