Workaround, of course, bring up the virtual keyboard (tap keyboard icon in lower right corner when external keyboard is connected) and use that.

At least there is a workaround. Unfortunately, the need for so many workarounds with iPadOS causes it to be so lackluster. It is like having an expensive Ferrari but with the onboard computers intentionally programmed to act as a governor and keep the speed to 70mph or less. Ferrari probably wouldn't sell too many of that model. Apple needs to correct these shortcomings with a much more useful and standard OS. The hardware is getting really good, but the OS is still not up to the point of being able to fully utilize that hardware to its potential.
Apple needs to get after developers too. I bought a set of Govee RGBIC strip lights and installed the Govee Home app on my iPhone XR and iPad Air 2020. App works okay, but the iPad version is the same as the iPhone version, exactly the same, no landscape view, too small for the screen. That really angers me that so many iPad apps are still just iPhone apps, even in 2021. Apple should put their foot down and demand a real iPad app for iPadOS.
