Perhaps this a better explanation. 

When the tablet is connected to a much larger monitor... 

Use the tablet as a touchpad. That's the way it is by default 
(nothing new). With the big picture on your big monitor. That's
the way it currently is. 

But... 

Have a single place/button on the tablet screen you can tap to 
toggle between touchpad and keyboard. When you want to use the 
keyboard, it pops up to cover the whole tablet screen (still in 
landscape mode). The main difference is that the keyboard is on 
the tablet screen and doesn't show up on your monitor. 

The idea is putting the tablet screen to better use when the
tablet is connected to a monitor. It's probably sensitive enough
to function as a standalone touchpad. And it would allow for
customization, resizing and maybe showing the keyboard at the same
time.
