Did you know you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard or braille display to any iPhone or iPad? It’s a great way of improving your productivity and efficiency.
However, there are some features which don’t have a keyboard shortcut assigned to them by default, and others where the default keyboard shortcut is hard to remember or difficult to press.
In this seminar, we will show you how to customise your keyboard or braille display shortcuts so that your iPhone or iPad best meets your individual needs, and share some strategies for ensuring you can remember which shortcut you chose.
