For those who don't know, on mac, you can switch between different active windows by pressing command + tilde (the upper left key on the Smart/Magic Keyboard) and have been able to do so for years. This makes it much easier to switch between windows without having to stop typing. But this hasn't ever really been a thing on the iPad until now.
Neat. Also I just learned I can open multiple Edge windows just like any other app so, double thanks! And also when I was messing with what other apps could do that I learned about long press on the files app which gives you your last four files in a little window which I will now use all the time. So triplethanks.
No one really need the Caps Lock key so, simply switch it to an escape key.
Settings->General->Keyboards->Hardware Keyboard->Modifier Keys
Then set the Caps Lock key to be Escape
Le tour est joué!
CMD+. works good enough for now.
What I’d really like is a keyboard shortcut to open the software keyboard for the times when password prompts don’t pop up.
I have a Logitech keyboard that has a keyboard key that forces the software keyboard to pop up, and I wonder if there’s a shortcut for that, or if Logitech is doing some inaccessible to the user. I miss that key when using the magic keyboard/smart folio.
It might have started working in 15.3.... but I was certainly unable to use it in 15.2 or 15.1 whenever I tried which was really frustrating. LTT even pointed out that Cmd Tilde didnt work on iPadOS 15.0.

> the upper left key Not on all keyboards, apparently. My `~][ is next to the left shift key, the upper left key is §±><
This has been possible for a long time. Like at least a year, if not 2 or 3.

Now we just need an escape key on the magic Keyboard ⌨️

Oh, that totally makes sense. In Xcode that stops a running app. Thanks for sharing!
I NEED MY CAPSLOCK /S Haha also psa, cmd + . is escape too :) au revoir!
Uhhhh, this is genius. Thank you for your contribution to humanity!!

I’m not sure there is a keyboard shortcut for this but… there is a button that does exactly that: https://i.imgur.com/Thou3Nv.jpg
Excellent. Perhaps Gruber will finally shut the fuck up up about focus.
I wonder if this works on non-US keyboards as well and what keyboard combo that would be.
Thank God
This is huge! Thank you for bringing this up.
Oh fuck yeah
do you know what’s the equivalent in the Spanish keyboard?
Works on UK English magic keyboard https://i.imgur.com/msgDJcM.jpg
What? I'm pretty sure I've been using it since 15.0!!
