title: How can I disable Chrome opening the Windows on-screen keyboard when debugging as iPad?
body: <p><strong>When I open the Chrome debug view and set the device to "iPad Mini" to simulate its screen size (and touch events), interacting with a text input causes the Windows on-screen keyboard to open.</strong></p>
  
  <p>This computer is not a tablet, and has never had a touch screen.  In the Windows <code>Ease of Access -&gt; Keyboard</code> settings <code>Turns on the On-Screen Keyboard</code> is off.</p>
  
  <p>I can only assume that Chrome "simulating" an iPad Mini is causing Windows to think there's a touchscreen.  I've been using this feature for a few months now, and the keyboard opening only started happening recently.  I may have simply flipped a switch in the settings (of Chrome or Windows) on accident.  If that's the case, I'd like to know how to flip it back!</p>
  
  <p>This is frustrating because I have to close the keyboard each time as it covers up a large portion of the web-app.</p>

  <p>The same page without the "iPad Mini" simulation does not open the keyboard:</p>

  <p>(This keyboard also opens when choosing any device that has a touch screen, not just iPad Mini.)</p>
