Frequently Asked Question Posted 06/16/2026

While typing shot descriptions in MovieSlate, my iPad keyboard suddenly became a tiny floating keyboard. How do I get the normal full-size keyboard back?

This is an iPadOS feature, not a MovieSlate setting — the iPad keyboard was accidentally switched into its small floating mode, usually by an unintentional pinch gesture. You can switch it back in seconds:

  1. Place two fingers on the small floating keyboard.
  2. Spread them apart (an un-pinch / zoom-out gesture) to expand the keyboard back to full size.

You can also drag the floating keyboard around the screen using the short bar at its bottom edge, and pinch it closed again any time you prefer the compact version.
