The keyboard shows and hides itself based on input focus, in jQuery ...

// Show keyboard:
jQuery('#some-input-id').focus();

// hide keyboard:
jQuery('input, textarea').blur();

No plugin required.

If the plugin is not working for you, maybe you can play with jquery .focus() and .blur() to show/hide the keyboard.

For example, the keyboard will show when an input is on focus, and to lose the focus you can call blur, and the keyboard will hide.

If you aren't using ionic, you may have luck with this plugin. The Keyboard object is attached to the window, so the API is a little different.

window.Keyboard.show();
window.Keyboard.hide();

It's also worth noting that on iOS only the hide method works. There is no way to manually open the keyboard without having a focused input.
