If you want to hide the onscreen keyboard, just press the "PageUp" key on your keyboard and it will hide the screen. Then you will be able to use the normal keyboard of your PC and type easily.

 

If you want to bring it back, press the "PageDown" key of your computer keyboard and you will see it on the screen again.
