I've had an iPad for over a decade and always found it's keyboard, particularly the lack of backwards and forwards keys, frustrating. Recently however I got a new model and, quite by accident I discovered a useful shortcut that when I Googled, no-one else seems to have picked up on (or all the people who have are buried below the usual pile of SEO-d crap).
Anyway if you click the "I" key and then the "O" key in quick succession it selects the word the cursor is on or after.
IO, just like like that!
In other words I-O (I+O?) is like double clicking with a mouse. It's a minor thing but gets me wondering what other hidden combos there are.
I set off trying to find out and then discovered that Apple have, in fact, done something closer to left and right arrow buttons. If you press and hold the space bar the markings blank out and you can then use the keyboard as a track pack. I got that thanks to this video by Steve Katz.
Does anyone know of any others?
