The fact that the iPad supports a hardware keyboard is a plus. There are lots of users who feel more comfortable in typing and using shortcuts with the help of a keyboard. Typing is faster than handwriting, though iPad was meant to be touched. One solution for this kind of users remains the Buetooth Apple keyboard. Though there are a lot of missing shortcuts you can still benefit from Copy, Cut and Paste commands for a selected text, Undo or Rredo commands by selecting CMD and C, X, V, Z, Shift Z.
Using Option – Delete you can delete the words from the left of the cursor. With the command CMD – Delete you will delete everything you have written from the current line to the left of the cursor. The so- called keyboard dock that Apple integrated with iPad contains in addition search and home options. One negative fact refers to third-party applications that do not respond to some of the keyboard commands or which don’t have total full access to key events. The Safari application, for example, doesn’t recognize the search on the page for a specific text command (CTRL-F). And this is just one of the disabilities when using a keyboard dock. Though iPad was designed to be touched there are still tasks that require text entry.
