Soft Return in Numbers with iPad Virtual Keyboard?

When using my Apple wireless keyboard I am able to create a soft return/new line within a text cell by using "option + enter" keys. The "enter" key by itself moves the cursor to the next cell instead of doing a new paragraph or line within the same cell.
Is there any way to replicate this functionality with the virtual keyboard on the iPad? There are times when I don't have my wireless keyboard with me, like right now, and still need to have that functionality.

I bought a case with a bluetooth connected keyboard. Much easier to use than the on-screen keyboard if you do a lot of typing. You can use many/most computer wireless keyboards with the iPad.

  • Soft returns in Pages for iPad

    I would really like to create a space between numbered items in Pages but I can't figure out how to do it.  Does anyone know how to create a soft return in Pages for iPad?
    I have seen responses for the desktop application but not the iPad application.

    Pages 1.7.1, IOS 5.1.1
    You start a bullet item and then press both ⇧ and return keypad keys to force a newline. This turns off the bullet style. Press return. Use the paintbrush toolbar icon to reselect the Bullet paragraph style again. This approach shows the inelegant possibility.
    The best approach would be at the end of your bullet text, change your line spacing from 1.0 to 1.25 from within the paintbrush > Layout tab. A return continues your bullet style. If your normal body text has been 1.0 line spacing, you can switch back to that after your list.

    I guess that we could ask that question about a few different things Apple related.
    I'm glad that you got the hang of it.

  • Can't Login to One Site with a Virtual Keyboard

    I am unable to login to one particular site using Firefox 10.0.2 in Lubuntu 11.10.
    The virtual keyboard is visible but does not react at all.
    I can login OK to several (all) other sites with similar virtual keyboards using the same FF in Lubuntu.
    I can login to the problem site OK using Chromium in the same Lubuntu session.
    I can login to the problem site OK using Firefox 8.0.1 in XP on the same PC.
    So I suppose there must be some setting in FF10.0.2 which is obstructing the virtual keyboard - but which?
    I have been unable to find anything to fix or diagnose this problem so far.
    Thanks for any help!

    I found I can also login OK to the problem site on the same PC, using Ubuntu 10.04LTS & FF 10.0.1.
    So I am just missing some magic ingredient to allow me to login to my site using my normal Lubuntu 11.10 & FF 10.0.2.
    Is this a java issue or what, when virtual keyboards don't respond?
    Can nobody point me to anything which might help me to understand/diagnose/fix this problem?
    Thanks!

  • TS1702 The keyboard layout is critically wrong, that does not allow quick writing. Users reach the numbers with two step keyboard hits (forward and back). It is really vital to have number 0-9 keys in the default keyboard window. Develop these changes ple

    I want to open a discussion about keyboard layout on iPAD´s, including the best one iPAD4. How one can design such sofisticated technical item for diverse work/activity, includes mainly for note writings and meetings, but the writing procedure is so slow becuase of the keyboard layout. It is really crucial to solve this problem in order to avoid developing additional keyboard from third-party developers. This function has to be integrated, namely: TO HAVE A COMPLETE SEETING OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS IN THE DEFAULT KEYBOARD LAYOUT, FOR EFFICIENT WRITINGS.

  • IPad virtual keyboard missing grave - back tick ?

    Okay I used notes and went through the entire keyboard. Where is the back tick or grave character? On a normal keyboard it's on the tilde key. Suppose a website required special characters in the password. How could you use the iPad to login if you used this character?
    Message was edited by: johnb0002002

    May I recommend that the password be changed
    Unfortunately that's not always an option. It's really puzzling why Apple has failed to fix this bug for nearly 3 years now. The grave accent has been one of the 95 printable characters of the standard ASCII set for over 2 decades, and people or programs which generate passwords are fully justified in thinking they should be able to use it and that any normal computer should be able to type it. Especially crazy is the fact, as pointed out by johnb, that when typing an email address in Mail, Apple's virtual keyboard does include the grave accent, which serves no purpose whatsoever in that context.

  • Ipad Virtual Keyboard Disappears

    After a certain time of utilisation, the virtual keyboard dissapears. After a reset it appears again. Is there any way to fix this problem, without doing resets ?
    Thanks for your help

    I had the same problem.  Do you have the wireless Bluetooth keyboard?  If you do and you are not using it, go into settings and turn off the Bluetooth setting.   This will restore the virtual keyboard.  The virtual keyboard appears to get confused when the bluetooth keyboard is not in range and the iPad is searching for it. 

  • How to fix Firefox compatibility with Kaspersky Virtual Keyboard ?

    My Firefox updates regularly and automatically, but it has now blocked for far too long the Kaspersky 2012 (regularly updated) Virtual Keyboard !!! Please do provide instructions so that this virtual keyboard can be enabled again if it cannot be done automatically via Firefox.

    You must contact Kaspersky and have them provide an update. Firefox does not provide updates on behalf of Kaspersky.

  • Sorting and formatting in Numbers with iPad 2

    I am going to send feedback to Apple about this, but I wanted to let the community help, if I am incorrect and these things are actually possible.
    1. I can only sort by one column. I want to be able to create a sort priority. For example, I want to sort four columns first by date, then by person's name, then by $ amount. Not possible on mobile Numbers.
    2. I want to choose to sort only specific columns. I have a formula set up in column E that sums the cells to the left in columns C and D. My formulas break every time I sort.
    3. When I copy and paste from one Numbers spreadsheet into another, the formatting from the copied sheet gets put into the pasted sheet. I want to be able to "paste format" like you can in Excel. A sort-of workaround for this is to select the cell that has the correct format (this cell has to be directly above the cells that have the wrong formatting), pull the blue select box down the column to include the cells that have the wrong formatting, click the paintbrush at the top right corner, then choose whatever formatting you need--the format that is shown as selected will be the format of the first-selected cell. You have to do this for every individual column, however. And my columns are very long -- hundreds of cells long (I'm keeping a year's worth of data).
    Am I correct in that if I buy a Mac computer and Numbers for the computer, I would be able to do these edits on the Mac, and then have them show up on my iPad when it synchs with iCloud? I can't buy Numbers for a PC, can I? Being tied to a computer isn't what I want--I wanted to be able to do everything on my mobile device.
    Thanks!

    for #1: numbers does what is called a "stable" sort. Meaning that the previous sort order is preserved. i.e. do your sort in reverse order. Amount, then name, then date. Just did it with sample data and it was perfect. It keeps them in the original order, so if there is a match in name after you sort, you should see the amount still in the proper order.
    #2: What in your formula isnt working? I just made a formula that did math on the columns to the left, sorted and it worked. Sorted by static data columns and the formula column. I know it was broken originally, years ago, but it seems to be working correctly now, at least in my quick test. You might have an issue if you are using formulas that refer to data on other rows or tables.
    #3: yeah formatting can be a pain. But it is easier to do in the desktop program. No, you cannot get it for windows, sorry. If the formatting the only thing you need to do on the desktop side, then i dont see much tying you to it. I do 90% or more on the ipad and iphone now.

  • Using numbers with iPad

    Before I spend 10 bucks on the numbers app for iPad I have a few general questions. The main one being how compatible is excel and numbers. I want to know if I import a sheet I was working with in excel to numbers and that sheet has formulas, charts, graphs, etc. will those things (such as formulas) be translated into the numbers app? Will these things still be useable.
    Thank you for your help!

    To automatically sync documents between iOS devices & your Macs, the Macs need to be running Mountain Lion & iWork 9.2. But you can manually sync documents in Lion & Snow Leopard (the only OSes I've tried it on) using the iWork section of iCloud.com in a web browser.

  • Will typing on an iPad virtual keyboard make me less proficient in typing on a traditional keyboard?

    My teacher told me that I should stop typing on my iPad because I won't be able to type on a computer anymore?

    I often find that when I type at a computer, I automatically use some of the shortcuts available on the iPad, e.g. double space to enter a full stop, or "hes" instead of "he's", and I have to go back and correct them.
    For that reason I prefer to type the apostrophes myself using the shortcut suggested by bobseufert, so that I don't get into that habit. Unfortunately autocorrect down't like that, and messes with them, e.g. turns "it's not" into "it' snot".
    There's nothing stopping you getting a Bluetooth keyboard and using that. I think a full size one will work (can anyone confirm?) and then typing will be exactly the same as on a computer.

  • Silly me. I was playing around with the virtual keyboard; found the international keyboard list. I turned on the Russian/Cyrillic keyboard.  Surprise, surprise, now everything is in Russian, and I can't see how to restore everything to English.  Help!

    Silly me. I was playing around on the settings portion of my I-Pad2, when I found the international keyboard section. I reset the keyboard to Russian to see what it would look like.  Now, the keyboard is in Russian, and so are all the settings elements.  I can't see how to get it all back into English.  Help,

  • Problem with Virtual Keyboard in Apple Apps?

    I am using an iPad 3 and have had Numbers and Pages apps since my iPad 1.  I am suddenly having a problem with the virtual keyboard covering/hiding the text box where you type.  For example, in Numbers: I double tap to type something in a cell and the keyboard comes up but the text box where it shows what you are typing is behind the keyboard.  I haven't seen anyone else mention this problem.  I have tried it both in landscape and letter orientation.  I have deleted the app from my iPad and reinstalled it but that doesn't change anything.  This is also happening in these apps on my iPhone 5.  This started happening after the last OS upgrade.  Anyone have any ideas?  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    No, I haven't seen that on iOS 6.
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".
