Why did keyboard icon disappear?

[Windows Central Question]

Hi,

I possess a HP Envy x2 15 with Windows 10 as the OS. Somehow after starting my laptop the keyboard icon (to make the touchpad keyboard appear) disappeared from the taskbar. Is there a keyboard shortcut to make the icon disappear (which I thus perhaps accidentally executed)?

Otherwise I find it highly peculiar that the icon disappear from the taskbar.

Lastly, is there a way to rearrange the icons on the righthand side of the taskbar (keyboard sign, volume, battery icon etc.)?

Thanks !

The keyboard sign on the right, next to the clock brings up the keyboard. If its not there, right click/press hold the taskbar and select "Show touch keyboard button"

Also, you can rearrange the icons you're asking about. How you do it is the same as before.

Can you please help me find my keyboard icon on the screen so I can choose between the stylus and the keyboard? Thank you.

I have a Surface Pro 3.
