Keyboard shortcuts

This is a list of keyboard shortcuts that may be used both on iPhone and iPad on an external bluetooth keyboard. Apple does not publish shortcuts for iPhone but I have found that the shortcuts listed below work on iPhone as well as iPad. Please let me know if you discover any problems with these. I decided to omit shortcuts that involved VO plus another two keys since people often find these difficult to use . I prefer to perform tasks using VoiceOver keyboard commands rather than use multiple key shortcuts.

Keyboard shortcuts available in most contexts:

Search: Command-Space

Switch apps: Command-Tab

Select All: Command-A
