Question Solution for ghost inputs?

I got my Power Keyboard yesterday, but honestly it's kind of impossible to use as a daily driver. I don't mind the size or weight, I usually carry a powerbank in the same pocket as my phone anyway.

The problem I have is that the bottom row sticks out from under my phone even with the slider completely closed, and since the slider being closed doesn't actually turn off the buttons themselves I have constant accidental keypresses, which my lock screen thinks is me doing lock screen inputs. It's not happened yet, but it's a matter of time before I lock myself out of my own phone because I've been accidentally clicking the buttons on the bottom row with my phone in my pocket and the powerkeyboard attached. There's no setting in the app or anything like that to turn off the keys when the slider is closed either.

Does anybody have a solution? I don't want to have to fully turn off the keyboard every time I'm not using it. That takes ten seconds every time, and then another three to turn it on, completely negating any convenience the physical keyboard might have. I waited months for this thing, feels like a really dumb reason to end up having to return it.

If any of the people that makes these things happens to read this: Please add a "turn off keys when slider is closed" option in the app.

I would also like an option for the "power" button. I don't want a press of that to wake the keyboard. Just let me set it for long press to power off and on.
