When Split Keyboard is turned on in Settings, tap in a text field to open the onscreen keyboard, then do any of the following:
Split the keyboard: Touch and hold the Hide Keyboard key, slide your finger to Split, then release.
Put the split keyboard back together: Touch and hold the Hide Keyboard key, slide your finger to Merge, then release.
Or split the keyboard.
