When I connect the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse as a Bluetooth input device and browse Google chrome the keyboard disappears and I have no way to input text. If I disconnect mouse the keyboard returns. Is there anyway to use a Bluetooth mouse without having to use a mouse and keyboard both.

At the top, when input method is available (circled in yellow, above link) you want to drag down and choose Select input method (circled in yellow below link)

You will then have a screen like below, with a toggle. This toggle forces the on-screen keyboard to be always available, as far as I have seen.

The only issue I have with this method is that if I connect a bluetooth keyboard, I have to switch the toggle back, or lose half my screen to the on-screen keyboard when I have a physical keyboard. Also, unless the Select input methods is available in the drop down menu, I haven't been able to locate this setting by another means. I welcome someone to find another method.

I had the same problem as wmulle using a bluetooth HID gamepad.

Also I apologize, apparently I am still 'too new' and can't post images, so you'll have to cut/paste yourself, or someone is welcome to use those links and pretty it up for others.
