iPad typing and keyboard shortcuts
From: http://www.labnol.org/software/keyboard-typing-shortcuts-for-iphone-ipad/13564/
The current breed of iDevices (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) share an almost similar
on-screen virtual keyboard and therefore, you just have to master a common set of
keyboard shortcuts to type a little faster on any these devices.
LetÊŒs quickly recap the 10 most useful typing shortcuts for your iDevice:.
Tip #1: If you
want to type
special
characters with
accent marks
(like the letter Ă
or Ăš), simply tap
and hold the
corresponding
alphabet key for
a while and it
will pop-up a list
of related
accented characters for you to choose from. DonÊŒt release the key before making a
selection else the choice will disappear.
Tip #2: If you are typing a line of text in, say, an email message, simple tap the space
bar on the keyboard twice and it will automatically insert a dot (or period) followed by a
2. space. The next alphabet that you type will be written in uppercase without you having
to press the Shift key.
Tip #3: The iPhone keyboard is pretty smart at adding apostrophes. For instance, if you
need to type âdoesnÊŒtâ, just forget the apostrophe and quickly type âdoesntâ â the
keyboard will automatically insert the apostrophe at the appropriate place.
Tip #4: The numeric keyboard shows
the dollar ($) symbol by default.
However, if you need to type the
Pound or the Euro currency symbol,
just hold the $ key and youÊŒll see a list
of alternative symbols in a pop-up.
Tip #5: There are two ways in which you can insert the degree symbol in your text.
Either switch to the numeric keyboard and hold the ʻ0ʌ key or, if you using the regular
ABC keyboard, hold the ʻOʌ key (thatʌs the alphabet O).
Tip #6: If you want to change the style of quotation marks or if you need to use a longer
dash punctuation mark instead of the default hyphen, hold the corresponding key as
show in the above screenshot.
3. Tip #7: Typing everything in all caps is often considered rude but there can be instances
where you may have to type two or more consecutive characters in uppercase (e.g.,
UNESCO or QWERTY).
In the default setting, youÊŒll to have to tap the Shift key after typing every single
character or you can âEnable Caps Lockâ under Settings â> General â> Keyboard and
then double-tap the shift key to turn it into a Caps lock key. They will stay blue until you
press one of them again.
Tip #8: When you are typing a website URL in the address bar of the Safari browser,
thereÊŒs a special â.comâ key in the keyboard that you can tap to quickly complete the
web address.
However, if the website that you are trying to reach doesnÊŒt end with a .com, you can
still use that key. Just hold it for a while and it will give you an option to choose other
popular TLDs including .edu, .org and .net.
4. Tip #9: Just like the .com key in Safari lets you type domain URLs quickly, thereÊŒs
something similar in the Mail program of the iPhone /iPad that will help you complete
email addresses quickly.
When typing an email address in the To: or CC /BCC field of the Mail program, press
and hold the dot (.) key and youÊŒll get a list of domain shortcuts in a pop-up to auto-
complete the email address (youÊŒll essentially save 3 key strokes).
Tip #10: This is another useful but undocumented keyboard trick that will help you
quickly switch between numerical and alphabetical keyboards (video demo).
LetÊŒs say you are typing a document and need to insert an email address in your text.
Now the â@â symbol is not available on the default âABCâ keyboard so youÊŒll first have to
switch to the numeric keyboard (?123), tap â@â and then again switch to ABC mode.
ThatÊŒs like making three keystrokes for typing one key. To simplify, just press the ?123
key, slide the finger to reach the â@â key and then lift the finger up to release the key.
You can use the trick to type numbers, punctuations marks, currency symbols and all
other characters that are found only on the numerical keypad of your iPhone or iPad.
