The problem is that the tablet thinks the Bluetooth mouse is also a keyboard and so will the onscreen keyboard will not appear. The same will also happen with Bluetooth switches. Unfortunately the only thing I have found to work are apps that have keyboard pages in the app, like NovaChat.

Hi folks,
I was demonstrating a Samsung Galaxy tablet to a pALS who is very good with a wireless mouse.  The problem we had is that when she would click on any screen that required a keyboard, no keyboard would come up.  If she touched the tablet with her hand, the keyboard would appear, but not if she clicked with the mouse.  Is there some setting I am missing that enables this to happen?  She was GREAT with Speech Assistant for communication, but not without a keyboard.

thanks,
Lisa
