Three things you didn’t know your iPad’s keyboard did

There are lots of hidden features in iOS the operating system used on iPhones and iPads. Here are three features you probably didn’t know about that work on iPads running iOS version 5 and above:

1. You can undock the keyboard in addition to splitting into two halves. Hold down the keyboard key to show your choices.

The image below shows the keyboard undocked. This is useful when the keyboard is covering up information you need to see or edit. When you are done hold down the keyboard key again until the Dock/Split choices are shown.

2. The comma/exclamation key is also the apostrophe key. Hold it down and you can type an apostrophe without having to shift to eh .?123 keyboard. Better yet just flick the key to insert an apostrophe.

3. The period/question mark key is also the quote symbol key. Hold it down and you can type a quote symbol without having to shift to the .?123 keyboard. Better yet just flick the key to insert a quote symbol.
