Using a keyboard

If you connect a keyboard to your iPad you can access even more new features in iPadOS 14. For example, if you press Cmd+Spacebar you’ll pull up the new Universal Search window. Search for an app in there and, when you find it, you can drag it on to the screen to open it in Split View or Slide

Over. Tapping the globe key on a Magic Keyboard or Smart Keyboard allows you to insert an emoji quickly in any text box. And on a Magic Keyboard with a trackpad you can double–tap instead of tapping and dragging to drag items around the screen. These are in addition to the keyboard shortcuts that already exist in iPadOS and which you can see by pressing and holding the Cmd key.
