Bug Description

Product: bq Aquaris M10
FW version: OTA-10.1
HW version: MP

Actual Result:
No keyboard button when in desktop or tablet mode

Expected Result:
Button to hide/unhide keyboard

Additional info: this was reported by some forum users because they find it useful(may be because of the current keyboard bugs). This is implemented in other tablet OS's where you've got both options:

a) OSK is triggered when you press over a blank field in an app(current result)
b) OSK is triggered when you press the hide/unhide button

Can you provide more info on why this is useful? That is, why isn't the current model of focusing an input and de-focusing or swiping the OSK away not sufficient? A button seems redundant and less usable to me.

It is just another feature request. I don't find it necessary but I guess is more comfortable for some users having a button in launcher or somewhere else to choose wether to use or not the keyboard.
