      I am trying to help my son with Minecraft on the Amazon Fire TV. I have a Fire TV 2.  One critical problem that arises whenever he plays is when he chooses to go into chat/command mode on the game, the virtual keyboard pops up. We do have a bluetooth keyboard so that's not necessary. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any way to close the virtual keyboard. The buttons on the remote (e.g. the back button) don't do anything. I press the arrow key (similar to an enter key) or the back key on the virtual keyboard but nothing happens. The buttons on the game controller operate the game that is in the background behind the keyboard. Nothing I do will close the virtual keyboard and I have to quit the game by pressing the home button on the remote. This makes the game unusable.
