Yesterday I mentioned a useful tip for using physical keyboards with iPads in my guide to. The tip actually works with all iOS 9 iPads connected to external keyboards over Bluetooth, Lightning, or the Smart Connector: hold Command (⌘) to see a list of supported keyboard shortcuts for the Home screen or app you’re in. This works in most of Apple’s built-in apps and plenty of popular third-party apps as well, but it can be monotonous prompting that sheet in each app to get a sense of what keyboard shortcuts work. Instead, I’ve compiled a cheat sheet of which keyboard shortcuts work in all the system apps and several popular third-party apps. Whether you’re using Apple’s,,, or any other physical keyboard, these will make you more efficient when working on your iPad. Enter the shortcuts by holding down the ⌘ (command) and, if applicable, shift or option keys together, then hitting the letter, number, or symbol.

So for ⌘ shift H, hold down ⌘ and shift, then hit H to execute the shortcut. Here is a work around for dictation. Press the emoji keyboard button in the bottom left corner of the Smart Keyboard that looks like a globe icon. Tap the “space” command at the lower right of the keyboard.

Third command from the right. Immediate press the “delete” command (looks like a left arrow with an x in it) directly to the right of the “space” command to return your curser to the beginning of your desired dictation placement. Then press the “ABC” command on the bottom left. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Pc Suite Free Download For Windows 7. Now your soft keyboard should stay active so you can press the microphone icon and begin dictation.

Not optimal by any means, but at least it’s a way to activate dictation. Hope this helps. Thanks for the list Zac, I already copied and pasted it into a Note for use on my iPad Pro. Actually there are more shortcuts available.

The new Logitech Type+ for iPad Air (US$99.99) is a billed as a protective case with an integrated keyboard. Of the iPad onto the magnetic bar to put the device into a typing position, and the single LED turns green to indicate that the keyboard has power, then blue to indicate the Bluetooth connection.

The list generated by holding down the command key is contextual. For example, in Numbers with a spreadsheet cell selected, there are additional shortcuts for adding additional rows and columns. So this method may be more helpful rather than perusing menus in a desktop app.

Consider Zac’c list as a starting point and be prepared to discover new shortcuts based on what actions you are retaking. Chrome for iOS also has shortcuts that don’t appear in the HUD: Tab and window shortcuts: ⌘+N – Opens a new tab. Press ⌘+Option and the right arrow together – Switches to the next tab.

Press ⌘+Option and the left arrow together – Switches to the previous tab. ⌘+n (1 – 8) – Shows the n-th tab (1 – 8) ⌘+9 – Shows the last tab Press ⌘ and the left arrow together ⌘+[ – Goes back.

⌘+] – Goes forward. Google Chrome feature shortcuts: ⌘+, – Opens the Settings page. – Opens the Help page. Press Esc – Dismisses the possibly presented modals, or the highlight on the URL. Webpage shortcuts: ⌘+. – Stops the loading of your current page.

I’m interested in a shortcut for taking a screen capture when the iPad Pro is connected to the keyboard. You can still use the traditional HOME and Power button, but would be interested in a shortcut like on a Mac – COMMAND + SHIFT + 3 or something. When using power point, if you’re in presentation mode, you can use the apple pencil to make notes on the slides themselves But all is lost when you leave the presentation view. It would be helpful to be able to capture the notes written on the slide.

Does anyone have any other options or ideas? It is just awkward to use the traditional method when working with the keyboard. Thanks for the help. I don’t see anything about shortcuts accents for foreign languages. On iOS devices and the MAC keyboard you can at least hold down a letter and choose from the accent symbols that pop up. When I write in French, there are none on the English keyboards. And the French Awerty keyboard is useless unless you have a diagram next to you to know which keys to hit for which letters and punctuation.

So, it seems better to use the software keyboard for this purpose, unless I’m missing something, but then again, so was Apple when I called to ask and they didn’t know either. I submitted my concerns to Apple Feedback. Crack Hardware Fingerprint Generator.
