If you have been using your iPad for a lot of typing, you will know that it boasts a choice of 2 different keyboards of your choice.<\/p>\n

\nThe standard keyboard is great, but when you use it in landscape mode the keys tend to be a little more challenging to get to with your outstretched fingers.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nTo enable the split-keyboard, hold down the keyboard icon at the bottom-right of the standard keyboard, and shift up to Split. Awesome right!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

And then a useful tip: Apple intentionally placed 6 hidden keys on the keyboard to help us when those keys get a little far to reach out to.<\/p>\n

\nCheck out the pic below, and you will see what I mean. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

Y, H, B and T, G, V can be reached without crossing over the divide.
\nI know you are about to get out your iPad and test this out, because I did the exact same thing when I read it.<\/p>\n

\nIf this helps you, then please share it, and of course, Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
