   Hello, as a legally blind person, I use the 12.9 M1 iPad Pro. I currently use the Apple folio keyboard case which I do not particularly care for. The keystrokes feel weird to me. Also, I do not have a trackpad or mouse that works well for me. This has me wondering if the Magic Keyboard will be the better solution.
   As a visually impaired person, I do rely on VoiceOver; how will VO impact the trackpad gestures on the Magic Keyboard trackpad? Thanks for sharing your insights.

    Does ‘Full Keyboard Access’ have to be turned on in order to have the Globe Button/Escape modifier work properly? I just updated my Globe Button to be an Escape key and it’s not working.

    I’ve had a Magic Keyboard for close to 3 years now and knew about a lot of the gestures for navigating around the iPad already. My father just got a Magic Keyboard and I wanted to send him a tutorial on using the gestures so I clicked on this video and watched it to make sure it was on the level with the info it provided before I shared it. Wow! This video is so informative, detailed and well done! My compliments to the chef! Thank you!

    Extremely helpful – so much information. I am trying to find a way to decrease the sensitivity of the Magic Keyboard. When I am typing, sometimes it jumps to another place in the document, and sometimes some paragraphs simply disappear. Very frustrating, of course, and I don’t know where to find the “lost” text.

    Thanks for the great explanations! I got the new iPad Pro and magic keyboard (and Apple Pencil) as a gift — lucky me! I love it and LOVE having an actual keyboard to use. I frequently use the arrow keys on a regular keyboard to move my cursor. I have such trouble with my arrow keys in apps like OneNote, emails, etc. My arrow keys move me to different sections of the app. Please help! How do i make my arrow keys just move my cursor in these apps…it is driving me Crazy!!
