You can't force that, the system isn't set up that way. The keyboard is a separate app, and isn't even the same between manufacturers stock, and many people download new ones (Swype, Swiftkey, etc). The keyboard itself gets to decide what it displays for each input type, and they all decide on their own. There's no way to force them to display certain keys or not to display certain keys. Even if you find an answer for 1 keyboard, there's no guarantee it works on any other.

If you absolutely need this (I assume you're writing a calculator), write your own keyboard or fake a keyboard using buttons.
