Below is what I cobbled together from various sources:

IOS BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD COMMANDS

 

In the keyboard commands that follow, there are several references to a “VO” 
modifier. The “VO” reference refers to VoiceOver feature on the device which is 
accomplished through the keystroke combination of Control + Option. For 
example, if the required keystroke is “VO plus Down Arrow”, you perform this 
keystroke by holding down Control + Option, then pressing the Down Arrow 
simultaneously.

 

In the list of keystrokes that follow, we have use the "+" key or symbol as the 
connector when two keys are to be pressed such as the Command key followed by 
another key. The use of the "*" indicates the two keys are to be pressed 
simultaneously. For gexample, “Left Arrow * Right Arrow” indicates these two

keys are to be pressed at the exact same time.

 

If some of the keys with multiple modifiers do not seem to work with your 
Bluetooth keyboard, try using the other modifier. For example, the

Apple Bluetooth keyboard has Control, Command, and Option keys to the left of 
the spacebar, but it also has an Option key to the right of the spacebar.

If holding down all three modifiers, such as to increase the VoiceOver volume 
(VO + Command + Up Arrow), you mayhave to use the right Option key; if you use 
the left Option key, the command will likely not work. This is no doubt a 
limitation of the Apple keyboard and not iOS 4.1.

 

Most of the text navigation commands that make use of the Command key can also 
be performed by substituting the Control key. 

 

iOS  has a feature called quick nav, which when enabled, allows for easier 
navigation between elements using the keyboard. To enable/disable quick nav, 
press the Left Arrow * Right Arrow. Remember, the "*" indicates these two keys 
are pressed 

Some commandscan only be performed with quick nav is either enabled or 
disabled.

Good Morning,

 

Does anyone know of a Bluetooth keyboard tutorial, document or even a cheat 
sheet for key commands which will work with IOS 11?

 

I realize every keyboard is different, but I am looking for some standard 
keystrokes that work with all Bluetooth keyboards.

 

Thank you.

 

Vicki
