I have different keyboards using your browser. When typing in the address bar, the keyboard has a colon in the bottom line next to the spacebar. Not only is this key never used, its frequently inadvertently hit, perhaps the most annoying thing Ive ever seen. Any help is appreciated.

Hi

You may want to try the GBoard keyboard, this does not display a colon by default on the keyboard.

Try selecting the alternative characters from the keyboard it might be on the 2nd page of keyboard items.

Thanks, but it doesn't work. Again, it's only while typing in the address bar.

Hi

If you open the Android Settings typically a cog wheel icon and search for "Virtual keyboard", what is the name of the keyboard app that you have installed?

It says it's the Samsung Keyboard. As I type this, there is no colon or .www key. Those appear only when I type in the address bar.
