Years to previously being announced by Apple at its special event in January of this year, some mocked up the “Apple Tablet Computer” now known as the ‘iPad’ as having a physical keyboard. At its introduction though, a minority were surprised it didn’t have one.
Luckily, it had the next best thing – a detachable option in the form of what we now know as the iPad keyboard Dock. But with many keys being device-specific keys never having made an appearance on any of Apple’s previously shipped keyboards, the iPad keyboard can be quite a change for those new to Mac. .
Thankfully, @TheAppleBlog has come to the rescue, detailing a full list of keyboard shortcuts so users can easily control their iPad the way they want to.
