I am using shapr3d on a M1 iPad Pro. I use an Apple Pencil for all of my designs. I also use a Logitech keyboard/trackpad for other tasks. Sometimes I reference designs while my keyboard is attached. If I press any buttons on the keyboard, or even use the mouse to “swipe up” and exit the app, then Shapr3d forces me to choose my keyboard set up. I don’t want to swap the set up to a keyboard. Is there a way to turn off autodetect? If not can we please make one. It is so incredibly annoying.

There is no way atm, but if you set it once, it shouldn’t ask you again. It doesn’t alter the app in any way other than showing the pointer tutorial videos when you use the pointer input.
