Creating keyboard shortcuts for iPad apps on Apple Silicon

[Mohamed Fayed]

Hi,

Hope my mail finds you well,

I wonder whether there is any method to add keyboard shortcuts to iPad apps 
installed on Apple Silicon MacBook.

If there is not, what tips od you have to improve my performance while using 
these apps?

Example application is ClaroPDF app that reads PDF content.

Thank you so much

Mohamed E. Fayed

Re: Facebook Messenger on iPhone

[Eric Oyen]

It’s the Facebook messenger app that is the problem. Time for all of us to 
start reviewing them on the App Store and marking as 1 star, and then place a 
bug report in the review edit box along with the statement “not recommended for 
blind VoiceOver users until the problem is fixed”. This will get facebook’s 
attention a lot faster than contacting them via their apps.

Instrument Keyboard Assignments in Garage Band

[Kelly Ford]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a list of what instruments are assigned to what 
keyboard letters for instruments in Garage Band? I’m talking about situations 
where the instrument doesn’t typically have a keyboard or notes that can be 
assigned based on letters.

Drums are the best example of this. There are dozens of drum kits and within 
each, multiple drums and other instruments.

Kelly
