Starting in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, you can now capture stereo audio using the built-in microphones on supported devices. + +Because a user can hold an iOS device in a variety of ways, you need to specify the orientation of the right and left channels in the stereo field. Set the built-in microphone’s directionality by configuring: +* Polar pattern. The system represents the individual device microphones, and beamformers that use multiple microphones, as data sources. Select the front or back data source and set its polar pattern to stereo. +* Input orientation. When recording video, set the input orientation to match the video orientation. When recording audio only, set the input orientation to match the user interface orientation. In both cases, don’t change the orientation during recording. + +This sample app shows how to configure your app to record stereo audio, and helps you visualize changes to the input orientation and data-source selection. + +* Note: You must run the sample on a supported physical device running iOS 14, or later. To determine whether a device supports stereo recording, query the audio session’s selected data source to see if its [supportedPolarPatterns](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avaudiosessiondatasourcedescription/1616450-supportedpolarpatterns) array contains the [stereo](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avaudiosession/polarpattern/3551726-stereo) polar pattern. + +## Configure the Audio Session Category +Recording stereo audio requires the app’s audio session to use either the [record](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avaudiosession/category/1616451-record) or [playAndRecord](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avaudiosession/category/1616568-playandrecord) category. The sample uses the `playAndRecord` category so it can do both. It also passes the `defaultToSpeaker` and `allowBluetooth` options to route the audio to the speaker instead of the receiver, and to Bluetooth headphones. + +```swift +func setupAudioSession() { + do { + let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() + try session.setCategory(.playAndRecord, options: [.defaultToSpeaker, .allowBluetooth]) + try session.setActive(true) + } catch { + fatalError("Failed to configure and activate session.") + } +} +``` +[View in Source](x-source-tag://SetupAudioSession) + +## Select and Configure a Built-In Microphone +An iOS device’s built-in microphone input consists of an array of physical microphones and beamformers, each represented as an instance of `AVAudioSessionDataSourceDescription`. The sample app finds the built-in microphone input by querying the available inputs for the one where the port type equals the built-in microphone, and sets it as the preferred input. + +```swift +private func enableBuiltInMic() { + // Get the shared audio session. + let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() + + // Find the built-in microphone input. + guard let availableInputs = session.availableInputs, + let builtInMicInput = availableInputs.first(where: { $0.portType == .builtInMic }) else { + print("The device must have a built-in microphone.") + return + } + + // Make the built-in microphone input the preferred input. + do { + try session.setPreferredInput(builtInMicInput) + } catch { + print("Unable to set the built-in mic as the preferred input.") + } +} +``` +[View in Source](x-source-tag://EnableBuiltInMic) + +## Configure the Microphone Input’s Directionality +To configure the microphone input’s directionality, the sample sets its data source’s preferred polar pattern and the session’s input orientation. It performs this configuration in its `selectRecordingOption(_:orientation)` method, which it calls whenever the user rotates the device or changes the recording option selection. + +```swift +func selectRecordingOption(_ option: RecordingOption, orientation: Orientation, completion: (StereoLayout) -> Void) { + + // Get the shared audio session. + let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() + + // Find the built-in microphone input's data sources, + // and select the one that matches the specified name. + guard let preferredInput = session.preferredInput, + let dataSources = preferredInput.dataSources, + let newDataSource = dataSources.first(where: { $0.dataSourceName == option.dataSourceName }), + let supportedPolarPatterns = newDataSource.supportedPolarPatterns else { + completion(.none) + return + } + + do { + isStereoSupported = supportedPolarPatterns.contains(.stereo) + // If the data source supports stereo, set it as the preferred polar pattern. + if isStereoSupported { + // Set the preferred polar pattern to stereo. + try newDataSource.setPreferredPolarPattern(.stereo) + } + + // Set the preferred data source and polar pattern. + try preferredInput.setPreferredDataSource(newDataSource) + + // Update the input orientation to match the current user interface orientation. + try session.setPreferredInputOrientation(orientation.inputOrientation) + + } catch { + fatalError("Unable to select the \(option.dataSourceName) data source.") + } + + // Call the completion handler with the updated stereo layout. + completion(StereoLayout(orientation: newDataSource.orientation!, + stereoOrientation: session.inputOrientation)) +} +``` +[View in Source](x-source-tag://SelectDataSource) + +This method finds the data source with the selected name, sets its preferred polar pattern to stereo, and then sets it as the input’s preferred data source.

It occurred to me, hearing this, that my own usership hasn’t really ever included this aspect. Nilay felt so strongly about the 12 Pro Max’s size that he recommends you find a way to experience its size in person before ordering one. My concern - as much as I love the idea of the 12 Mini - centers around the fact that I am already starting to struggle with the diminishing size of the buttons in the UX of popular apps like [TikTok](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMe17ocYh/), and I’d rather not make my eyes struggle with text size any more than absolutely necessary.

You might be reading this article on an LCD screen right now, given how ubiquitous the technology has been since its inception in the early 1960s.

Quite simply, it uses an ambient light sensor to fiddle with white balance, warming the colors of the display as an immediately-obvious whole, yes, but an interesting contrast to show off is no longer inherently justified in being called a “feature” in Apple products, anymore. Essentially, no matter who you ask (aside from [Jon Rettinger](https://youtu.be/AXU8GqaMsQc?t=7m23s),) you *should not* buy an iPhone 8, though I did last Fall, not only because I had to suddenly decide on a handset in less than 24 hours, but — if anything — to say goodbye to the form, the operating system, and the tech company which I have depended upon and carried with me virtually every day for my entire adult life. I’d originally decided to abandon this review due to a variety of unexpected circumstances, but Apple and its iPhone have maintained their place in the news with their [battery scandal](https://www.apple.com/iphone-battery-and-performance/), and a third of a year with the 8 Plus has included some experiences which warrant a send-off before iOS 12 is released, making it (and myself) totally irrelevant forever. + +As the longstanding benchmark of the smartphone industry’s state at any given time, the iPhone can be easy to reflect upon as a product once occupying a state of universal exemption from criticism, but it has, in fact, [never been so](http://theweek.com/articles/459748/7-reviews-original-iphone-from-2007). As Nilay Patel [noted](https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/19/16323570/apple-new-iphone-8-review-plus-2017), one might regard the 8 as the last compromise of “basically four years” of the same design. Since launch, it’s unsurprisingly stayed a wee bit too far behind on the spreadsheets for most Android-type folks — not that I’ve ever believed them truthfully incapable of comprehending what it means to *package* a product, given where their greasy startups all eventually ended up. ( **You cannot doubt me** — I once took a year-long sabbatical from iOS with a [Sony Xperia Play](https://youtu.be/nSWgS0l0kc8), and my authority is absolute.) The rest are trying to decide whether or not to pay $200 more for “ [the phone of the future](https://www.wsj.com/articles/iphone-8-apples-middle-child-1505322945),” which knows when you’re watching it, and is only good for playing half an hour of stupid video games before it needs a charge. + +So far, I have maintained that my first generation iPhone was the best handset of all time — one hell of an Email Machine that lasted me close to five years — throughout the last two with actual motherboard exposed to the elements in the corner of its cracked screen. That said, who knows how it’d feel to be coerced into using “iPhone OS 2” as it was called, then, for an entire workday in 2018? Two years prior to bringing home an 8 Plus, I [vowed](http://bit.ly/drycast47) that my 6S Plus would be my last ever Apple device, but this one *actually* feels like a last hurrah. Though the ability to *Tweet directly from the swipe-down notification menu* is still nowhere to be found (it’s been gone for 5 releases, now, and would seem to have been forgotten by *literally* everyone but myself,) one gets the sense that Apple’s efforts to add to the iPhone 8 and iOS 11 were to make amends with us by settling a few debts. + +In part, they did. Native apps got a major overhaul — including Mail, which was startling, considering that I’d been looking at what was near as makes no difference the same UI my eldest phone shipped with. As a result, it alone constitutes my benchmark for an email service, and I have been left without a clue as to what *a good one* looks like. (Apparently it was [really bad](https://www.pcmag.com/article/342889/the-best-mobile-email-client-apps)?) Since time began, there has always been at least one alternative email app of the moment that tech journos refer to as the must-have, end-all replacement. [Edison Mail](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/email-edison-mail/id922793622?mt=8) is currently the smoother, faster, most modular option — at least for another few minutes– but I’ll never know it as I know Mail, and I’ll never want to. Playing around with experimental email apps is too scary. What if I decide once again to kill that massive number in the red badge and need to immediately mark 40,000 emails as read? It took all of my iPhone 4’s 1.0Ghz CPU and proprietary software over 18 hours — how am I supposed to trust a shabby little 6-month-old startup with such an important task? Anybody with a hundred bucks can make an app, you know. + +### Why is the App Store now the best-looking publishing software on iOS? + +One might interpret the App Store’s redesign as an attempt by Apple to control this conversation — of both the trending *new thing* and the old“essentials” that you’ve probably had tucked away in an untouched folder for years. Technically, whoever the hell is writing those gorgeously-presented daily bits has made them a publishing company, though I’m not so sure I’m not the last remaining user who’s continued semi-regularly visiting their “Today” section. If I *did* want to actually read about apps (I don’t — who does?) it wouldn’t make much sense to seek critical reviews from the faceless boffins behind the platform itself, regardless of how much better it may look than all of the tech news sites, paywall or no. + +Native screen recording could conceivably come in handy once or twice, but I see no reason why the red bar must remain at the top of the render, but it has, which could explain the total lack of any such video in the wild. Front-facing 4K, 60fps capture is impressive, but useless — vloggers all have GoPros or DSLRs, these days, and sharing through Snapchat and Instagram will always be ultra-compressed. (Here are two sloppy test clips — [at the zoo](https://youtu.be/VnfkWkotGFw), and [fishing](https://youtu.be/KOs5m6ynKAI).) + +Perhaps some have figured out the new Files “app,” but it’s sat on my homescreen for months, untapped, and it will likely remain there for all time as a sort of soothing trophy — a thanks for my legacy iPhone loyalty. My reward for half a lifetime of syncing, scrolling, and tolling? **I can now view some of the files on my Mobile Computing Device**, and even *scan documents in*, which is mostly novel (though it is fun to digitize excerpts from physical text.) At some point, I must’ve mischecked a permanent option because all file types now open only in an app that does not recognize them. God bless. + +![](The%20Precarious%20Legacy%20of%20the%20iPhone%208%20%E2%80%94%20The%20Psalms/fuMs1a4.jpg) +Somehow, I’ve managed to fill my social circle with precisely zero iOS-using folks. All of my friends and colleagues use Android devices (including [Tim’s supercool Nextbit Robin](https://soundcloud.com/extratonemagazine/nextbit),) which provide a few handy datapoints (like the camera in [my fiance’s Galaxy S8](https://flic.kr/p/BXruaL),) but deprive me of any significant experience with the ostensibly intoxicating cult of iMessage. I’m constantly listening to and reading tech writers claim that it’s [one of the only reasons they’re still using iPhones](https://www.theverge.com/2016/10/10/13225514/apple-iphone-cant-switch-pixel-android-imessage-addiction), but my own food-OS loving biome has forced me to find others, and frankly, I can’t imagine looking at the [gluttonous](http://www.extratone.com/audio/futureland/toomanymessengers/) palate of available mobile, cross-platform messaging services (Telegram, [now Telegram X](https://telegram.org/blog/telegram-x), WhatsApp, Signal, Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Discord, Slack, *Tinder?*, Google Hangouts, Google Allo, Google Chat, Viber, Skype, Line, Wire, etc.) and thinking… *well, none of this will do*! + +Honestly — even if I’d actually been at all informed in my haste, the photographic capabilities of the 8 Plus, alone would’ve sold it. It’s not the new filters, gif functionality, or even “3D Photos” — it’s those mythical dual 12MP sensors (which it shares with something called the iPhone X.) They’re no less than infallible. After four months of [astonishing captures](http://bit.ly/ip8plus) in all manner of conditions, I don’t even care how exactly they do it anymore — it’s better to be left marveling. This first example was taken at Keystone, Colorado in the middle of a dark, cloudy Fall night — the amount of light they were able to find — “up to 80% more,” [according to Apple](https://www.apple.com/apple-events/september-2017/) — is just *impossible*. + +*The vast majority of the samples in my iPhone 8 Flickr Album were taken within the native Camera app as it ships and left unedited. (Especially before just a few weeks ago, when I [discovered Halide](https://extratone.com/race-day-at-hodges).* + +![](The%20Precarious%20Legacy%20of%20the%20iPhone%208%20%E2%80%94%20The%20Psalms/C2LLJAl5.jpg) +Here is an unquestionably sensible progression from which iPhone has never wavered far since its fourth generation [set the standard](http://www.extratone.com/words/inred/iphone4/), but it’s one of an unfortunate few. Siri is still useless and silly apart from its “disable all alarms” feature and its ability to sound itself off in response when you’re hysterically screaming and digging for it through the vast plush of a forty-year-old Lincoln. The customizable Control Center makes toggling low power mode, orientation lock, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth less frustrating (note the last two [aren’t quite hard switches](https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-turn-off-wifi-and-bluetooth-in-ios11/),) though it should’ve come years ago. Notifications are slightly more sensible -certainly better than they were on Android Gingerbread, but I’ve heard things’ve changed quite a bit since then. + +I *have* been tripped up by the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack a few times, but it just [wouldn’t make sense](http://www.extratone.com/words/inred/mono/) from a hardware perspective, and the new external stereo capability should refute those who can’t or won’t understand. Yes, it would be nice if Apple hadn’t led the industry to quite such a compromising obsession with thinness — we’d all trade *a lot* of substance for exponentially greater battery life, storage capacity, water resistance, etc. — but I don’t see much sense in expending your energy holding up signs in Silicon Valley. + +> I’ll be here long after you’ve died, and you know why? Because I took the time to sync my apps. + +Two years ago, a new generation of social apps and the preposterous notion of a quad-core CPU in my iPhone 6S Plus seemed like the harbinger of a world I no longer understood. Now, most of those services have expanded to the far boundaries of my reach, and I’ve stopped counting chips. Refinement of the hardware design is reverent to the extreme. It’s pretentious, but Apple’s decision to pause on the 8 to consider details like stuffing the legal text in the software and adding a little bit of weight *back in* for ergonomics’ sake leads one to regard it as a monument to all the devices along the development timeline that have led to this… last triumph. Or, it would have perhaps, had they not [sold so many](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018/02/apple-reports-first-quarter-results/). + +One could argue that good execution of consumer electronic design means minimizing as much as possible the obstructions in the way of the user completing any given task, and the iPhone 8 Plus has surpassed the vast majority of these for myself — and I am, surely, a “power user.” iOS has changed a lot in the decade I’ve employed it — in far too many ways for the worse — but this pair of handset and software have reached *my* imagination’s limit for what I could possibly want to do. Augmented reality and wireless charging won’t ever have a place in my future, for better or worse. Face ID is much too peculiar. Surely, this iPhone is the ultimate expression of the first and fourth generation’s foundation. + +If the 6S Plus was indeed the key to my immortality, I’m afraid the 8 Plus heralds my imminent demise. Whether or not it’s an early one is for you to decide.

Given [yesterday's news regarding Slack's acquisition](https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/1/21719666/salesforce-slack-acquisition-purchase-announced), perhaps I should feel revalidated in my insistence that "[Discord is Better Than Slack](https://bilge.world/discord-slack-comparison)," but a developer friend of mine actually addressed my curiosity regarding why startups never mention Discord as a workplace option, despite its identical functionality: it's all about fuckin' *enterprise security*. + +I had wanted to write about [*The Langoliers*](https://letterboxd.com/film/the-langoliers/) - Stephen King's flop of a made-for-TV movie/extended *Twilight Zone* episode - for a long while. It was probably the first program I watched as a child that genuinely disturbed me and always returns to my thoughts by barren-ish experiences. I had planned to watch the whole three hours all the way through and write whatever came to mind, but I only made it halfway or so in "[Craig Toomey's Coronavirus](https://bilge.world/the-langoliers-stephen-king)" before I ran completely out of steam.

I experienced this phenomena quite severely for the first time in my writing life after posting "[Google Is Not God of The Web](https://bilge.world/google-page-experience)" on [HackerNews](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23383548) right before going out-of-touch for some 13 straight hours amidst a local BLM protest. I did not intend to write a baity title, nor did I expect anything to come of sharing it, there - I only did so simply because the thought crossed my mind. Honestly, it is probably the least-considered content I'd ever published on *The Psalms* - I only put it up when I did because I knew *all* of my energy was about to be absorbed for an entire weekend or more. I only started the thing because I felt it important to raise a small voice in reminder that tech media had started using language when discussing code/online development which had begun to assume the existence of a single, objective standard of measure for *good web design*. (Fuck your bootstrap baloney, [*The Drywall Website*](https://iowa.neocities.org/test) was a *real* *paradigm shit*.) + +And yet... That single goddamned post would end up accruing more pageviews than all of my writing on the web, combined (I suspect.)

I spent a morning clacking out "[Email and I: An Abridged History](https://bilge.world/hey-email-history)," which I hope will one day serve as a part-foundation for a thorough, composed extension to my [*Why I Write About Technology*](https://gist.github.com/extratone/91ebe16b0c620f309e70b40f5d4dcd9e) series. This would be *The Psalms* last relevant work for a few months, while I played around with [an experimental WordPress website](https://www.davidblue.wtf/wordpress-experimentation/) and dove into [*fuckin' school*](https://www.davidblue.wtf/college-return/) for the first time in seven years. + +![WTF](https://i.snap.as/cwm5gKqi.png) + +## Fall + +I returned in late September with a partial recount of what I'd discovered: "[Indulging Once More in Digital Excess](https://bilge.world/digital-excess)."

Going forward into 2021, I think it's important that I hold short on the progress I've made in moderating my voice since 2018. *Digestibility* is not a virtue I am at all interested in, nor is it an appropriate one in which to invest any more effort. Any non-*radical* argument will inevitably prove enormously unoriginal, which makes for a huge waste of all our time.

Having dipped my toe back in academia, any such circumvention of its penchant for the most archaic practices possible was naturally intriguing. *Just wait until I show these goons how to use hyperlinks.* Perhaps inevitably, I was launched into the Git-Gone Bender I'm still riding simply because I finally had ample reason to actually understand it. In just two months, I've created and forked a total of nearly 80 repositories on [my new GitHub account](https://github.com/extratone). Though I'd created one for each of my web properties ages ago, I had absolutely no idea how to actually make use of them, so they were all quickly abandoned. In the past two weeks or so, I think I've actually begun to get the hang of the system's core intricacies, best exemplified by [*The Psalms*' Repository](https://github.com/extratone/bilge) as it stands. + +The "automated" [Project Board](https://github.com/extratone/bilge/projects/1) I set up has so far been a very impressive replacement for the simple todo list. It tracks and categorizes Post Ideas in their various stages in my process: Mulling, Documentation (research,) Drafting, and actual Publication. Technical "[Issues](https://github.com/extratone/bilge/issues)" regarding the CMS and/or the Repository, itself, have also fit in these categories well, so far. Just today, I discovered that one can simply tag Issues by their number to describe [Commits](https://github.com/extratone/bilge/commits/main), which form an impressive revision-tracking changelog when aggregated together. I also figured out the general idea behind Milestones and set [*The Psalms*' first one](https://github.com/extratone/bilge/milestone/1) for my 27th birthday, next month. The goal is to have figured this all out well enough by then that I'm no longer randomly stumbling upon entire featuresets multiple times in a workday. [*Thinking in Public*](https://tomcritchlow.com/2020/07/23/thinking-in-public/) - as my friend Tom Critchlow and his crowd say - is what I'm trying to do here, I think. Obviously, this really means that you are more than welcome to hop the fuck in at any time, in any manner you'd prefer. If Git is still no more than a conundrum for you - as it was for me just weeks ago - I would suggest the directory for [In-Progress Drafts](https://github.com/extratone/bilge/tree/main/Drafts) as a starting point. + +

+ +[GitHub Actions](https://github.com/extratone/bilge/actions) are still more or less a mystery to me, but I am unbothered - *The Psalms*' seems to be producing green text instead of red, now, in the midst of whatever I set it up to do.

At the moment, I cannot imagine a single application for forums in the context of my blog's repository, but [I turned them on, anyway](https://github.com/extratone/bilge/discussions).

Apple, an AT&T, did an exclusive deal. It is not a short term exclusive deal either. I do not expect anytime in the foreseeable future. +To see this phone in a version from Verizon or Sprint or T-Mobile. And in fact it's locked so that you you can't even put in a T-Mobile card an use it on the T-Mobile Net. +Work now AT&T is the biggest carrier in the US, So why do I consider that a downside? Well, we all know that a coverage batteries, and if you're in an area without a great AT&T coverage, no matter how much you lust after this thing, it's not going to be very useful. If you can't make calls on it. The other problem is. +That's the data part of this, and remember I said it has a wonderful email program and a wonderful web browser, but those depend, of course on a fast connection to the Internet. +And this phone runs on a cell network that AT&T has that's called Edge, which is quite slow compared to the faster networks that even AT&T has on some other phones, and that Verizon and Sprint have on some treos and Blackberries and other competitors. So if you are relying on the cell phone network. +For Internet access on this, it is fairly slow. +The saving grace is. +the iPhone also has Wi-Fi. +There are a few other smartphones with that, but not many. +And Apple has designed the Wi-Fi part of this beautifully, so that when you walk into a room or a Starbucks or someplace where there's a Wi-Fi network, the phone knows about, it instantly switches you. +To Wi-Fi for your Internet access and of course. +That really flies, but when you're on the move, if you're in a cab, going through a city and you're trying to do web browsing or email, you're pretty much stuck with the slower cell phone network called Edge. Well, there's a lot more to say about this, and I've covered a lot more of the details in my column in the Wall Street Journal an on wsj.com, and on. +All things did come, but this is a fascinating product that I think raises the bar for all other smartphones. +This is Walt Mossberg, an I'll see you next week. +#reference #iP12PM \ No newline at end of file diff --git "a/notes/Bear Notes/Walt Mossberg First Generation iPhone Review/Walt Mossberg\342\200\231s First Generation iPhone Review.mp4" "b/notes/Bear Notes/Walt Mossberg First Generation iPhone Review/Walt Mossberg\342\200\231s First Generation iPhone Review.mp4" new file mode 100644 index 00000000..8e7ac445 Binary files /dev/null and "b/notes/Bear Notes/Walt Mossberg First Generation iPhone Review/Walt Mossberg\342\200\231s First Generation iPhone Review.mp4" differ diff --git a/notes/Bear Notes/iOS 14 Review Notes.md b/notes/Bear Notes/iOS 14 Review Notes.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c3a4bc07 --- /dev/null +++ b/notes/Bear Notes/iOS 14 Review Notes.md @@ -0,0 +1,41 @@ +# iOS 14 Review Notes +Dec 25, 2020 at 18:28 +- [ ] Apple needs to make app library folders renameable asap! + +- - - - + +- [ ] [iOS 14 Full Features List](https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-14-preview/features/) | Apple +- [x] [My WWDC 2020 Twitter Moment](https://twitter.com/i/events/1275137514609823751?s=20) +- [ ] "[How iPhone Hackers Got Their Hands on the New iOS Months Before Its Release](https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5dzpxz/how-iphone-hackers-got-hands-on-new-ios-14-months-before-realease)" | *Motherboard* +- [ ] [r/iPhone](r/iPhone) +- [ ] [The r/iPhone Discord](https://discord.gg/iphone) +- [x] "[With iOS 14, Apple is finally letting the iPhone home screen get complicated](https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/24/21299924/ios-14-iphone-wwdc-2020-apple-home-screen-widgets-app-library-clips-pages-complexity)" | *The Verge* +- [ ] "[iOS 14 beta: It's complicated…finally](https://youtu.be/d6ai8ZGoYjY)" | *The Verge* on YouTube +- [x] **Additive instead of transformative**. +- [ ] "[iOS 14: Complete Guide to All the New Features](https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-14/)" | *MacRumors* +- [ ] "[iOS 14 is filled with accessibility improvements](https://www.theverge.com/21302891/ios-14-accessibility-improvements-disabilities-hearing-blindness-motor-control)" | *The Verge* +- [ ] "[**What WWDC’s announcements mean for the future of the Mac**](https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/26/21304226/vergecast-podcast-apple-ios14-macos-wwdc-2020)" | *The Verge* +- [ ] Safari is super efficient at making PDFs for some reason. +- [ ] "[‘It Shouldn’t Be Hard to Get a Smoothie’, With Special Guest Dan Frommer](https://daringfireball.net/thetalkshow/2020/06/30/ep-288)" | *Daring Fireball* +- [x] "[iOS and iPad OS 14 public beta preview: something for everybody](https://www.theverge.com/21317904/ios-ipados-14-public-beta-preview-scribble-home-screen-widgets-apple-maps)" | *The Verge* +> For the iPhone, the overarching theme is that they're finally letting it get complicated.

We’ve also included a cheat sheet of keyboard shortcuts to accompany some of our favorite iPad apps (such as Things, Ulysses, Lightroom, and more). + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-Hero-1.jpeg) +Despite the fact the iPad is a large glowing touchscreen, it almost feels like it was built to be used with a keyboard. In the same way the [Apple Pencil](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1WWBJK/?tag=sweetsetup-20) unlocks all the iPad Pro’s drawing and annotation features, so too does an external keyboard unlock many of the iPad’s most powerful features. + +An external keyboard — I’ve become an advocate for the [Smart Keyboard Folio](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JZYSWPY/?tag=sweetsetup-20), and I’m *very* excited for the upcoming [Brydge Keyboard](https://www.brydge.com/products/brydge-for-ipad-pro-2018) — is an absolutely essential purchase if you’re an iPad Pro owner. + +Whenever I disconnect the iPad from the Smart Keyboard Folio to read a book or read the news on the couch, it takes about 30 seconds for me to wish I had an external keyboard still attached. Navigating through iOS using Spotlight, Drag & Drop, and Split View is how the large iPad Pro was made to be used, and zipping around iOS with the external keyboard is oftentimes faster than navigating around macOS with a keyboard and mouse. + +I’m not an iPad keyboard wizard by any stretch (although I claim to be when it comes to Microsoft Excel on a Windows PC), so the following shortcuts may or may not strike the level of depth you’re looking for. + +Nevertheless, I hope you’re able to pick up one or two new iPad keyboard shortcuts that help to cut down on your writing, navigating, or productivity time when using an iPad with an external keyboard. + +We have a set of custom productivity templates that work well with the iPad app, GoodNotes. And if you want to try them out, we’ve put together a free guide that can help you. + +We’ll show you… + +* How to create and save custom page templates in GoodNotes. +* How to use those page templates to transform GoodNotes into your own productivity notebook (or any other type of notebook replacement). +Plus, we also have included a couple of our custom productivity templates for you to get started with. These templates are right out of our popular productivity course. + + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/ipad-pro-goodnotes-templates.png) + + +The custom templates and the guide are available for FREE to our email subscriber community. And you can get it right now. By joining the Sweet Setup community you’ll also get access to our other guides, early previews to big new reviews and workflow articles we are working on, weekly roundups of our best content, and more. + +[GET THE TEMPLATES](d55999sy74uorsvf3g4j) + +## Standard iPad Keyboard Shortcuts Every iPad Owner Needs to Know + +These keyboard shortcuts are system-wide and 100% necessary to learn like the back of your hand, except for (perhaps) the Messages keyboard shortcut. Moving between conversations using the keyboard may not strike a chord with everyone. I find this shortcut fundamental to my everyday work. + +**Command + H:** Whenever you’re inside an app, this keyboard shortcut takes you to the home screen. I often use this shortcut over and over when unlocking the iPad. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-1.jpeg) +**Command + Space:** This iPad Keyboard shortcut opens the system-wide search, or Spotlight. You can search for so many things inside Spotlight, but the key to this shortcut is the ability to drag and drop an icon anywhere on your iPad from within Spotlight to Slide Over or Split View. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2.jpeg) +**Command + Tab:** Like on the Mac, this shortcut navigates between your last ten used apps. I wish the list of apps was longer. + +**Command + Shift + 3:** Again, like the Mac, this shortcut takes a screenshot of everything on the display. The screenshot then hovers in the bottom left corner for you to save or act on it. + +**Command + Shift + 4:** Similar to the aforementioned screenshot shortcut, this shortcut also takes a screenshot of everything on the display, but then directly puts you into the editing view in order to crop or annotate the image. + +**Press and hold Command:** Only available on iOS (unfortunately), this shortcut produces a window highlighting all the keyboard shortcuts within a specific app. + +**Command + Up/Down Arrows inside Messages:** And my favorite shortcut of all, this shortcut moves between conversations within Messages. + +## Other System-Wide, iPad Keyboard Shortcuts That I Can’t Live Without + +The above five or six shortcuts are likely shortcuts you’re aware of if you have even a semi-remote knowledge of OS keyboard navigation. The following shortcuts are a little less known (I only learned them with the debut of the latest iPad Pros) and which have become fundamental to how I work on the iPad. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3.jpeg) +**Command + Option + D:** This shortcut brings up the dock, allowing to open a different app or drag an app out of your dock for Split View or Slide Over. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-4.jpeg) +**Command + Shift + 4:** Like the screenshot shortcut above, this shortcut automatically takes you to the image preview rather than resting the screenshot in the bottom left of your screen for a few seconds. This shortcut saves an extra tap if you know you want to act on your screenshot right away. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-5.jpeg) +**Press and hold the down arrow (bottom right corner of screen):** Sometimes, you want to use the software keyboard rather than the external keyboard (this happens to me a lot when I want to snap a screenshot with the software keyboard displayed) and you *don’t* want to undock your iPad from the external keyboard (specifically the Smart Keyboard Folio without an eject key). This shortcut brings up the software keyboard without having to undock your iPad. + +**Press Shift to uncapitalize letter at beginning of a sentence:** This shortcut was a lifesaver once I discovered it. For all those times when you want to start your sentence with a lowercase letter, or if you just don’t want to capitalize something, hit the shift key before typing your word and iOS won’t autocorrect the letter to a capital letter. + +## Some Text-Specific Shortcuts + +If you handle text on iOS, these shortcuts are sure to save you some time — and limit the still frustrating-to-use fingertip text selections you have to make. + +**Option + Shift + Left/Right:** A little more common, this shortcut selects the previous/next word in the sentence. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-6.jpeg) +**Shift + Left/Right:** This is a combination of the first two shortcuts — this shortcut begins text selection on the left/right of the cursor and highlights one character at a time. + +**Shift + Command + Left/Right:** To select the entire line from the left/right of the cursor, use this shortcut. + +**Shift + Option + Up/Down**: To select an entire paragraph above/below the cursor, use this shortcut. + +**Shift + Command + Up/Down:** And if a *Command + A* shortcut isn’t what you need, use this shortcut to select all text in the document (above or below from the cursor). +- - - - +## Some Safari-Specific Shortcuts + +Mobile Safari has a long way to go before it reaches the functionality level of any desktop browser, but its keyboard shortcuts aren’t too bad. + +**Control + Tab:** Rather than trying to use your blunt finger to tap on the next tab, switch to the next tab using this shortcut. Note, this is *Control*, not *Command* (I forgot that a lot in the early days). + +**Control + Shift + Tab:** Throw a *Shift* key in there to move to the previous tab. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-9.jpeg) +**Command + F:** If you’re looking for a specific term on the webpage, this shortcut brings up the Find feature. This is one of those shortcuts so natural to an external keyboard that doesn’t translate at all when not using an external keyboard — you can only search the webpage from the share sheet, a long and convoluted workaround if you ask me. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-7.jpeg) +**Command + L:** If it’s time to type in a new URL or if you’re wanting to quickly Google something, this shortcut highlights the text input/URL field. + +**Command + Shift + T:** Did you accidentally close a tab too soon? This shortcut opens the last-closed tab, and you can also press it several times to continue restoring each previously closed tab. + +**Command + [**: This shortcut goes back one page in your browsing history. Similar to swiping from the left to right, but without leaving the keyboard. + +**Command + ]**: Same as above, but for moving forward in your browsing history. + +We have a set of custom productivity templates that work well with the iPad app, GoodNotes.

In the case of Things 3, it’d be great to see iOS *as a whole* adopt the keyboard navigational ease present within the app. +### [Things 3](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/things-3-for-ipad/id904244226?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) +Things 3 is the ultimate iPad keyboard app. This type of app is seemingly built to be navigated using a keyboard and I feel Things 3 broke new ground with this feature. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-10.jpeg) +**Down arrow key then enter on a task:** Things 3 can be navigated top to bottom using the keyboard, but this simple shortcut highlights a task in whichever view you find yourself in. Once highlighted, hit Enter/Return to drop down the task’s notes and tab through the task’s other options. + +**Command + 1:** This shortcut opens your Inbox. Use this shortcut, then use a **Command + N** to begin your morning brain dump. + +**Command + 2:** This shortcut opens your Today view. Use this shortcut, then **press the down arrow key** to act on the task. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-4.jpeg) +**Command + S:** Specifically powerful when you’re in your Inbox, this shortcut opens up the task scheduler, allowing you choose a date for when you’d like to complete the task. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-12.jpeg) +**Command + Shift + M:** I use this shortcut more than any other in Things 3. This shortcut opens the task mover dialog box, allowing you to move the task to any one of your areas or projects. + +**Command + K:** Finally, when you’ve completed a task, this shortcut checks it off your list. +- - - - +### [Bear Notes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bear/id1016366447?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) + +Ninety-nine percent of Bear can be navigated using the keyboard. You just need to learn how to do it. + +**Command + Return:** If you’re currently editing a note, this shortcut ends editing and eliminates your cursor. From here, you can then use arrow keys to move between your lists of notes. + +**Command + 1:** This shortcut brings you to your master list of notes, at which point you can use the arrow keys to move between your individual notes. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-1.jpeg) +**Command + 2:** I use this shortcut quite often. I send all sorts of random stuff into Bear, and I triage or process my notes by tagging them. In essence, the “Untagged” view is like my “Inbox.” This shortcut takes me straight to my untagged notes. + +**Command + Shift + F:** This shortcut is a bit different than the standard *Command + F* shortcut. This shortcut specifically searches your note list rather than the contents of a specific note. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-2.jpeg) +**Command + Option + Left/Right Arrows:** When in your note view, this shortcut navigates to the next note in your list. + +### [Ulysses](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ulysses/id1225571038?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) + +Like Bear, a quick Google search for how to navigate inside Ulysses on iPad yielded a surprising number of helpful keyboard shortcuts. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-1.jpeg) +**Command + Option + Left/Right Arrows:** This shortcut moves Ulysses left and right, taking you from the text editor to your sheet list to your groups and filters, or into your attachments bar to the right. + +**Command + Option + Up/Down Arrows:** Like the shortcut above, this shortcut jumps you to the previous or next sheet in your sheet list. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-2.jpeg) +**Command + Shift + K:** This shortcut automatically opens the keyword selector for your selected sheet — perfect if you like to tag your sheets inside Ulysses. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-3.jpeg) +**Command + Option + T:** When inside the text editor, this keyboard shortcut brings in Typewriter Mode, keeping your current line of text in the same spot to keep you focused on your current writing. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-4.jpeg) +**Command + 6:** This shortcut acts as a “Quick Export” — it brings up the sheet’s export view, allowing you to skip over having to scroll to the top and tapping on the share sheet to preview your text in a variety of formats. +- - - - +### [Adobe Lightroom CC](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-lightroom-cc-for-ipad/id804177739?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) +Adobe Lightroom CC doesn’t seem like the typical app for extensive keyboard shortcuts, which, in truth, Lightroom doesn’t really have. Darkroom for iPad has a better array of keyboard shortcuts in my opinion. However, Lightroom’s keyboard shortcuts carry over from the Mac version in many ways, ensuring your muscle memory doesn’t have to change when you move to iOS. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-3.jpeg) +**P:** When previewing an photo, this shortcut flags your photo as a “Picked” photo. + +**G:** When previewing or editing a photo, this takes you back to the Grid View. + +**Y:** This keystroke cycles you through a before and after of your current photo. + +**Command + C, then Command + V on a new photo:** Copy and paste are prevalent across all apps on iOS, but Lightroom’s version of copy/paste allows you to copy specific edits from your current photo and paste them onto a different photo. Unfortunately, batch pasting is not yet available in Lightroom CC for iPad. + +I could probably write another 2,500 words highlighting different shortcuts I use throughout iOS. One of my most-used iPad apps these days is [Spark](https://thesweetsetup.com/apps/best-ipad-email-app/), and you can do a ton inside Spark with an external keyboard. However, most of Spark’s iPad keyboard shortcuts are identical to shortcuts found in other email apps. For example: **Command + R** allows you to reply to a message, and so on. + +(It still baffles me that Apple’s default keyboard shortcut to send a message in Mail.app is **Command + Shift + D**.

In the same way the [Apple Pencil](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1WWBJK/?tag=sweetsetup-20) unlocks all the iPad Pro’s drawing and annotation features, so too does an external keyboard unlock many of the iPad’s most powerful features. + +An external keyboard — I’ve become an advocate for the [Smart Keyboard Folio](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JZYSWPY/?tag=sweetsetup-20), and I’m *very* excited for the upcoming [Brydge Keyboard](https://www.brydge.com/products/brydge-for-ipad-pro-2018) — is an absolutely essential purchase if you’re an iPad Pro owner. + +Whenever I disconnect the iPad from the Smart Keyboard Folio to read a book or read the news on the couch, it takes about 30 seconds for me to wish I had an external keyboard still attached. Navigating through iOS using Spotlight, Drag & Drop, and Split View is how the large iPad Pro was made to be used, and zipping around iOS with the external keyboard is oftentimes faster than navigating around macOS with a keyboard and mouse. + +I’m not an iPad keyboard wizard by any stretch (although I claim to be when it comes to Microsoft Excel on a Windows PC), so the following shortcuts may or may not strike the level of depth you’re looking for. + +Nevertheless, I hope you’re able to pick up one or two new iPad keyboard shortcuts that help to cut down on your writing, navigating, or productivity time when using an iPad with an external keyboard. + +We have a set of custom productivity templates that work well with the iPad app, GoodNotes.

We’ve also included a cheat sheet of keyboard shortcuts to accompany some of our favorite iPad apps (such as Things, Ulysses, Lightroom, and more). + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-Hero-1.jpeg) +Despite the fact the iPad is a large glowing touchscreen, it almost feels like it was built to be used with a keyboard. In the same way the [Apple Pencil](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K1WWBJK/?tag=sweetsetup-20) unlocks all the iPad Pro’s drawing and annotation features, so too does an external keyboard unlock many of the iPad’s most powerful features. + +An external keyboard — I’ve become an advocate for the [Smart Keyboard Folio](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JZYSWPY/?tag=sweetsetup-20), and I’m *very* excited for the upcoming [Brydge Keyboard](https://www.brydge.com/products/brydge-for-ipad-pro-2018) — is an absolutely essential purchase if you’re an iPad Pro owner. + +Whenever I disconnect the iPad from the Smart Keyboard Folio to read a book or read the news on the couch, it takes about 30 seconds for me to wish I had an external keyboard still attached. Navigating through iOS using Spotlight, Drag & Drop, and Split View is how the large iPad Pro was made to be used, and zipping around iOS with the external keyboard is oftentimes faster than navigating around macOS with a keyboard and mouse. + +I’m not an iPad keyboard wizard by any stretch (although I claim to be when it comes to Microsoft Excel on a Windows PC), so the following shortcuts may or may not strike the level of depth you’re looking for. + +Nevertheless, I hope you’re able to pick up one or two new iPad keyboard shortcuts that help to cut down on your writing, navigating, or productivity time when using an iPad with an external keyboard. + +We have a set of custom productivity templates that work well with the iPad app, GoodNotes.

Moving between conversations using the keyboard may not strike a chord with everyone. I find this shortcut fundamental to my everyday work. + +**Command + H:** Whenever you’re inside an app, this keyboard shortcut takes you to the home screen. I often use this shortcut over and over when unlocking the iPad. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-1.jpeg) +**Command + Space:** This iPad Keyboard shortcut opens the system-wide search, or Spotlight. You can search for so many things inside Spotlight, but the key to this shortcut is the ability to drag and drop an icon anywhere on your iPad from within Spotlight to Slide Over or Split View. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2.jpeg) +**Command + Tab:** Like on the Mac, this shortcut navigates between your last ten used apps. I wish the list of apps was longer. + +**Command + Shift + 3:** Again, like the Mac, this shortcut takes a screenshot of everything on the display. The screenshot then hovers in the bottom left corner for you to save or act on it. + +**Command + Shift + 4:** Similar to the aforementioned screenshot shortcut, this shortcut also takes a screenshot of everything on the display, but then directly puts you into the editing view in order to crop or annotate the image. + +**Press and hold Command:** Only available on iOS (unfortunately), this shortcut produces a window highlighting all the keyboard shortcuts within a specific app. + +**Command + Up/Down Arrows inside Messages:** And my favorite shortcut of all, this shortcut moves between conversations within Messages. + +## Other System-Wide, iPad Keyboard Shortcuts That I Can’t Live Without + +The above five or six shortcuts are likely shortcuts you’re aware of if you have even a semi-remote knowledge of OS keyboard navigation. The following shortcuts are a little less known (I only learned them with the debut of the latest iPad Pros) and which have become fundamental to how I work on the iPad. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3.jpeg) +**Command + Option + D:** This shortcut brings up the dock, allowing to open a different app or drag an app out of your dock for Split View or Slide Over. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-4.jpeg) +**Command + Shift + 4:** Like the screenshot shortcut above, this shortcut automatically takes you to the image preview rather than resting the screenshot in the bottom left of your screen for a few seconds. This shortcut saves an extra tap if you know you want to act on your screenshot right away. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-5.jpeg) +**Press and hold the down arrow (bottom right corner of screen):** Sometimes, you want to use the software keyboard rather than the external keyboard (this happens to me a lot when I want to snap a screenshot with the software keyboard displayed) and you *don’t* want to undock your iPad from the external keyboard (specifically the Smart Keyboard Folio without an eject key). This shortcut brings up the software keyboard without having to undock your iPad. + +**Press Shift to uncapitalize letter at beginning of a sentence:** This shortcut was a lifesaver once I discovered it. For all those times when you want to start your sentence with a lowercase letter, or if you just don’t want to capitalize something, hit the shift key before typing your word and iOS won’t autocorrect the letter to a capital letter. + +## Some Text-Specific Shortcuts + +If you handle text on iOS, these shortcuts are sure to save you some time — and limit the still frustrating-to-use fingertip text selections you have to make. + +**Option + Shift + Left/Right:** A little more common, this shortcut selects the previous/next word in the sentence. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-6.jpeg) +**Shift + Left/Right:** This is a combination of the first two shortcuts — this shortcut begins text selection on the left/right of the cursor and highlights one character at a time. + +**Shift + Command + Left/Right:** To select the entire line from the left/right of the cursor, use this shortcut. + +**Shift + Option + Up/Down**: To select an entire paragraph above/below the cursor, use this shortcut. + +**Shift + Command + Up/Down:** And if a *Command + A* shortcut isn’t what you need, use this shortcut to select all text in the document (above or below from the cursor). +- - - - +## Some Safari-Specific Shortcuts + +Mobile Safari has a long way to go before it reaches the functionality level of any desktop browser, but its keyboard shortcuts aren’t too bad. + +**Control + Tab:** Rather than trying to use your blunt finger to tap on the next tab, switch to the next tab using this shortcut. Note, this is *Control*, not *Command* (I forgot that a lot in the early days). + +**Control + Shift + Tab:** Throw a *Shift* key in there to move to the previous tab. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-9.jpeg) +**Command + F:** If you’re looking for a specific term on the webpage, this shortcut brings up the Find feature. This is one of those shortcuts so natural to an external keyboard that doesn’t translate at all when not using an external keyboard — you can only search the webpage from the share sheet, a long and convoluted workaround if you ask me. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-7.jpeg) +**Command + L:** If it’s time to type in a new URL or if you’re wanting to quickly Google something, this shortcut highlights the text input/URL field. + +**Command + Shift + T:** Did you accidentally close a tab too soon? This shortcut opens the last-closed tab, and you can also press it several times to continue restoring each previously closed tab. + +**Command + [**: This shortcut goes back one page in your browsing history. Similar to swiping from the left to right, but without leaving the keyboard. + +**Command + ]**: Same as above, but for moving forward in your browsing history. + +We have a set of custom productivity templates that work well with the iPad app, GoodNotes. And if you want to try them out, we’ve put together a free guide that can help you. + +We’ll show you… + +* How to create and save custom page templates in GoodNotes. +* How to use those page templates to transform GoodNotes into your own productivity notebook (or any other type of notebook replacement). +Plus, we also have included a couple of our custom productivity templates for you to get started with.

In the case of Things 3, it’d be great to see iOS *as a whole* adopt the keyboard navigational ease present within the app. +### [Things 3](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/things-3-for-ipad/id904244226?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) +Things 3 is the ultimate iPad keyboard app. This type of app is seemingly built to be navigated using a keyboard and I feel Things 3 broke new ground with this feature. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-10.jpeg) +**Down arrow key then enter on a task:** Things 3 can be navigated top to bottom using the keyboard, but this simple shortcut highlights a task in whichever view you find yourself in. Once highlighted, hit Enter/Return to drop down the task’s notes and tab through the task’s other options. + +**Command + 1:** This shortcut opens your Inbox. Use this shortcut, then use a **Command + N** to begin your morning brain dump. + +**Command + 2:** This shortcut opens your Today view. Use this shortcut, then **press the down arrow key** to act on the task. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-4.jpeg) +**Command + S:** Specifically powerful when you’re in your Inbox, this shortcut opens up the task scheduler, allowing you choose a date for when you’d like to complete the task. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-12.jpeg) +**Command + Shift + M:** I use this shortcut more than any other in Things 3. This shortcut opens the task mover dialog box, allowing you to move the task to any one of your areas or projects. + +**Command + K:** Finally, when you’ve completed a task, this shortcut checks it off your list. +- - - - +### [Bear Notes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bear/id1016366447?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) + +Ninety-nine percent of Bear can be navigated using the keyboard. You just need to learn how to do it. + +**Command + Return:** If you’re currently editing a note, this shortcut ends editing and eliminates your cursor. From here, you can then use arrow keys to move between your lists of notes. + +**Command + 1:** This shortcut brings you to your master list of notes, at which point you can use the arrow keys to move between your individual notes. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-1.jpeg) +**Command + 2:** I use this shortcut quite often. I send all sorts of random stuff into Bear, and I triage or process my notes by tagging them. In essence, the “Untagged” view is like my “Inbox.” This shortcut takes me straight to my untagged notes. + +**Command + Shift + F:** This shortcut is a bit different than the standard *Command + F* shortcut. This shortcut specifically searches your note list rather than the contents of a specific note. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-2.jpeg) +**Command + Option + Left/Right Arrows:** When in your note view, this shortcut navigates to the next note in your list. + +### [Ulysses](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ulysses/id1225571038?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) + +Like Bear, a quick Google search for how to navigate inside Ulysses on iPad yielded a surprising number of helpful keyboard shortcuts. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-1.jpeg) +**Command + Option + Left/Right Arrows:** This shortcut moves Ulysses left and right, taking you from the text editor to your sheet list to your groups and filters, or into your attachments bar to the right. + +**Command + Option + Up/Down Arrows:** Like the shortcut above, this shortcut jumps you to the previous or next sheet in your sheet list. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-2.jpeg) +**Command + Shift + K:** This shortcut automatically opens the keyword selector for your selected sheet — perfect if you like to tag your sheets inside Ulysses. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-3.jpeg) +**Command + Option + T:** When inside the text editor, this keyboard shortcut brings in Typewriter Mode, keeping your current line of text in the same spot to keep you focused on your current writing. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-4.jpeg) +**Command + 6:** This shortcut acts as a “Quick Export” — it brings up the sheet’s export view, allowing you to skip over having to scroll to the top and tapping on the share sheet to preview your text in a variety of formats. +- - - - +### [Adobe Lightroom CC](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-lightroom-cc-for-ipad/id804177739?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) +Adobe Lightroom CC doesn’t seem like the typical app for extensive keyboard shortcuts, which, in truth, Lightroom doesn’t really have. Darkroom for iPad has a better array of keyboard shortcuts in my opinion. However, Lightroom’s keyboard shortcuts carry over from the Mac version in many ways, ensuring your muscle memory doesn’t have to change when you move to iOS. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-3.jpeg) +**P:** When previewing an photo, this shortcut flags your photo as a “Picked” photo. + +**G:** When previewing or editing a photo, this takes you back to the Grid View. + +**Y:** This keystroke cycles you through a before and after of your current photo. + +**Command + C, then Command + V on a new photo:** Copy and paste are prevalent across all apps on iOS, but Lightroom’s version of copy/paste allows you to copy specific edits from your current photo and paste them onto a different photo. Unfortunately, batch pasting is not yet available in Lightroom CC for iPad. + +I could probably write another 2,500 words highlighting different shortcuts I use throughout iOS.

The screenshot then hovers in the bottom left corner for you to save or act on it. + +**Command + Shift + 4:** Similar to the aforementioned screenshot shortcut, this shortcut also takes a screenshot of everything on the display, but then directly puts you into the editing view in order to crop or annotate the image. + +**Press and hold Command:** Only available on iOS (unfortunately), this shortcut produces a window highlighting all the keyboard shortcuts within a specific app. + +**Command + Up/Down Arrows inside Messages:** And my favorite shortcut of all, this shortcut moves between conversations within Messages. + +## Other System-Wide, iPad Keyboard Shortcuts That I Can’t Live Without + +The above five or six shortcuts are likely shortcuts you’re aware of if you have even a semi-remote knowledge of OS keyboard navigation. The following shortcuts are a little less known (I only learned them with the debut of the latest iPad Pros) and which have become fundamental to how I work on the iPad. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3.jpeg) +**Command + Option + D:** This shortcut brings up the dock, allowing to open a different app or drag an app out of your dock for Split View or Slide Over. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-4.jpeg) +**Command + Shift + 4:** Like the screenshot shortcut above, this shortcut automatically takes you to the image preview rather than resting the screenshot in the bottom left of your screen for a few seconds. This shortcut saves an extra tap if you know you want to act on your screenshot right away. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-5.jpeg) +**Press and hold the down arrow (bottom right corner of screen):** Sometimes, you want to use the software keyboard rather than the external keyboard (this happens to me a lot when I want to snap a screenshot with the software keyboard displayed) and you *don’t* want to undock your iPad from the external keyboard (specifically the Smart Keyboard Folio without an eject key). This shortcut brings up the software keyboard without having to undock your iPad. + +**Press Shift to uncapitalize letter at beginning of a sentence:** This shortcut was a lifesaver once I discovered it. For all those times when you want to start your sentence with a lowercase letter, or if you just don’t want to capitalize something, hit the shift key before typing your word and iOS won’t autocorrect the letter to a capital letter. + +## Some Text-Specific Shortcuts + +If you handle text on iOS, these shortcuts are sure to save you some time — and limit the still frustrating-to-use fingertip text selections you have to make. + +**Option + Shift + Left/Right:** A little more common, this shortcut selects the previous/next word in the sentence. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-6.jpeg) +**Shift + Left/Right:** This is a combination of the first two shortcuts — this shortcut begins text selection on the left/right of the cursor and highlights one character at a time. + +**Shift + Command + Left/Right:** To select the entire line from the left/right of the cursor, use this shortcut. + +**Shift + Option + Up/Down**: To select an entire paragraph above/below the cursor, use this shortcut. + +**Shift + Command + Up/Down:** And if a *Command + A* shortcut isn’t what you need, use this shortcut to select all text in the document (above or below from the cursor). + +## Some Safari-Specific Shortcuts + +Mobile Safari has a long way to go before it reaches the functionality level of any desktop browser, but its keyboard shortcuts aren’t too bad. + +**Control + Tab:** Rather than trying to use your blunt finger to tap on the next tab, switch to the next tab using this shortcut. Note, this is *Control*, not *Command* (I forgot that a lot in the early days). + +**Control + Shift + Tab:** Throw a *Shift* key in there to move to the previous tab. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-9.jpeg) +**Command + F:** If you’re looking for a specific term on the webpage, this shortcut brings up the Find feature. This is one of those shortcuts so natural to an external keyboard that doesn’t translate at all when not using an external keyboard — you can only search the webpage from the share sheet, a long and convoluted workaround if you ask me. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-7.jpeg) +**Command + L:** If it’s time to type in a new URL or if you’re wanting to quickly Google something, this shortcut highlights the text input/URL field. + +**Command + Shift + T:** Did you accidentally close a tab too soon? This shortcut opens the last-closed tab, and you can also press it several times to continue restoring each previously closed tab. + +**Command + [**: This shortcut goes back one page in your browsing history. Similar to swiping from the left to right, but without leaving the keyboard. + +**Command + ]**: Same as above, but for moving forward in your browsing history. + +We have a set of custom productivity templates that work well with the iPad app, GoodNotes. And if you want to try them out, we’ve put together a free guide that can help you. + +We’ll show you… + +* How to create and save custom page templates in GoodNotes. +* How to use those page templates to transform GoodNotes into your own productivity notebook (or any other type of notebook replacement). +Plus, we also have included a couple of our custom productivity templates for you to get started with.

In the case of Things 3, it’d be great to see iOS *as a whole* adopt the keyboard navigational ease present within the app. + +### [Things 3](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/things-3-for-ipad/id904244226?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) + +Things 3 is the ultimate iPad keyboard app. This type of app is seemingly built to be navigated using a keyboard and I feel Things 3 broke new ground with this feature. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-10.jpeg) +**Down arrow key then enter on a task:** Things 3 can be navigated top to bottom using the keyboard, but this simple shortcut highlights a task in whichever view you find yourself in. Once highlighted, hit Enter/Return to drop down the task’s notes and tab through the task’s other options. + +**Command + 1:** This shortcut opens your Inbox. Use this shortcut, then use a **Command + N** to begin your morning brain dump. + +**Command + 2:** This shortcut opens your Today view. Use this shortcut, then **press the down arrow key** to act on the task. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-4.jpeg) +**Command + S:** Specifically powerful when you’re in your Inbox, this shortcut opens up the task scheduler, allowing you choose a date for when you’d like to complete the task. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-12.jpeg) +**Command + Shift + M:** I use this shortcut more than any other in Things 3. This shortcut opens the task mover dialog box, allowing you to move the task to any one of your areas or projects. + +**Command + K:** Finally, when you’ve completed a task, this shortcut checks it off your list. + +### [Bear Notes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bear/id1016366447?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) + +Ninety-nine percent of Bear can be navigated using the keyboard. You just need to learn how to do it. + +**Command + Return:** If you’re currently editing a note, this shortcut ends editing and eliminates your cursor. From here, you can then use arrow keys to move between your lists of notes. + +**Command + 1:** This shortcut brings you to your master list of notes, at which point you can use the arrow keys to move between your individual notes. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-1.jpeg) +**Command + 2:** I use this shortcut quite often. I send all sorts of random stuff into Bear, and I triage or process my notes by tagging them. In essence, the “Untagged” view is like my “Inbox.” This shortcut takes me straight to my untagged notes. + +**Command + Shift + F:** This shortcut is a bit different than the standard *Command + F* shortcut. This shortcut specifically searches your note list rather than the contents of a specific note. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-2.jpeg) +**Command + Option + Left/Right Arrows:** When in your note view, this shortcut navigates to the next note in your list. + +### [Ulysses](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ulysses/id1225571038?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) + +Like Bear, a quick Google search for how to navigate inside Ulysses on iPad yielded a surprising number of helpful keyboard shortcuts. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-1.jpeg) +**Command + Option + Left/Right Arrows:** This shortcut moves Ulysses left and right, taking you from the text editor to your sheet list to your groups and filters, or into your attachments bar to the right. + +**Command + Option + Up/Down Arrows:** Like the shortcut above, this shortcut jumps you to the previous or next sheet in your sheet list. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-2.jpeg) +**Command + Shift + K:** This shortcut automatically opens the keyword selector for your selected sheet — perfect if you like to tag your sheets inside Ulysses. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-3.jpeg) +**Command + Option + T:** When inside the text editor, this keyboard shortcut brings in Typewriter Mode, keeping your current line of text in the same spot to keep you focused on your current writing. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-3-4.jpeg) +**Command + 6:** This shortcut acts as a “Quick Export” — it brings up the sheet’s export view, allowing you to skip over having to scroll to the top and tapping on the share sheet to preview your text in a variety of formats. + +### [Adobe Lightroom CC](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-lightroom-cc-for-ipad/id804177739?at=11l7ja&ct=tss) + +Adobe Lightroom CC doesn’t seem like the typical app for extensive keyboard shortcuts, which, in truth, Lightroom doesn’t really have. Darkroom for iPad has a better array of keyboard shortcuts in my opinion. However, Lightroom’s keyboard shortcuts carry over from the Mac version in many ways, ensuring your muscle memory doesn’t have to change when you move to iOS. + +![](iPhone,%20iOS,%20and%20The%20Magic%20Keyboard%20A%20Guide/iPad-Keyboard-Shortcuts-2-3.jpeg) +**P:** When previewing an photo, this shortcut flags your photo as a “Picked” photo. + +**G:** When previewing or editing a photo, this takes you back to the Grid View. + +**Y:** This keystroke cycles you through a before and after of your current photo. + +**Command + C, then Command + V on a new photo:** Copy and paste are prevalent across all apps on iOS, but Lightroom’s version of copy/paste allows you to copy specific edits from your current photo and paste them onto a different photo. Unfortunately, batch pasting is not yet available in Lightroom CC for iPad. + +I could probably write another 2,500 words highlighting different shortcuts I use throughout iOS. One of my most-used iPad apps these days is [Spark](https://thesweetsetup.com/apps/best-ipad-email-app/), and you can do a ton inside Spark with an external keyboard. However, most of Spark’s iPad keyboard shortcuts are identical to shortcuts found in other email apps. For example: **Command + R** allows you to reply to a message, and so on. + +(It still baffles me that Apple’s default keyboard shortcut to send a message in Mail.app is **Command + Shift + D**. Thank goodness Spark’s sending shortcut is **Command + Return**, like every other civilized email app on the planet.) + +[The Best iPad Keyboard Shortcuts for Improved
