What I’m trying to do
I would like to remove the top hot key row from the keyboard in IOS, so there is more text space I landscape mode. Is there a way to turn it off? Thanks.
Things I have tried
Looked in the help file, checked the settings
You can remove it using the Commander plugin.
Thanks,
Chris
It’s called the “toolbar” and has settings in Settings > Toolbar. There isn’t a built in option to hide it, tho you could try removing all the items from it.
If you’d rather not use a plugin, you can use a CSS snippet to hide it. (I don’t have one handy; there may be one posted somewhere, or you could ask in Custom CSS & Theme Design.)
EDIT: Actually I do have one handy! It is setup to only apply to notes that have a certain cssclasses property.
/* Hide mobile toolbar when the "draft" class is applied, because when drafting I want the screen space more than I need the toolbar.
To dismiss the keyboard on phone when also using "Top bar hide when keyboard.css", swipe a sidebar out (even partway) and back.

.app-container:has(
.workspace-leaf.mod-active > * > * > .markdown-source-view.draft,
.workspace-leaf.mod-active > * > * > * > .markdown-preview-view.draft
) > .mobile-toolbar {
display: none;
}
If you only want it gone on iPad/iPhone and the Commander plugin feels like overkill, a CSS snippet is worth trying. Something like this may be enough:
.mobile-toolbar { display: none; }
Put it in .obsidian/snippets/, enable it under Appearance → CSS snippets on the mobile device, then restart the app if it does not apply immediately. I would keep a way back in mind though, because hiding it also removes quick access to commands that are awkward on the iOS keyboard.
If you want to apply a snippet only in landscape mode, it is possible in CSS to make a rule apply only town the viewport is a certain width or less.
Another space saving tip is to deactivate iOS’s Predictive Text (in Settings app > General > Keyboard) to hide that section between the keys and the toolbar (studies suggest that predictive text isn’t very useful). You can still keep autocorrect enabled.
