[Keyboard_Maximize] is reserved as a special section for the keyboard definition. This

should be assigned.

this software keyboard.

6.3.7.1 MaxiMode and ExcludeChain Options
The options MaxiMode and ExcludeChain were introduced specially for this software key-
board. They allow specific configurations to be made.
MaxiMode=1
This is a special parameter valid only for Keyboard_Maximize.
1 = AutoHide (default). If any software keyboard is visible on the screen, then
Keyboard_Maximize is automatically made invisible. If there is no longer any (normal)
software keyboard visible on the screen, then Keyboard_Maximize reappears
automatically.
0 = Always visible. Keyboard_Maximize is always visible on the screen, irrespective of
the other software keyboards.
