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.

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.This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond. You can make a suggestion.
Send feedback to Apple.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
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.

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: johnb0002002May 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 helpI 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.

Show virtual keyboard for cyrillic
Hi,
I'm a native austrian using german keyboard layout. As I'm learning russian, I use this snippet to be able to switch between german and cyrillic keyboard layout by pressing both shift keys:
setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:scroll de,ru &
To make it easier to find the cyrillic letters I'd like to have a virtual keyboard if I switch to the russian layout. The best solution would be, if the virtual keyboard would be switched on and of by the shift keys so that it automatically "syncs" with the russian layout.
Did somebody get this done? I'm on Openbox.You can't do that.
create a virtual text box, and when the user clicks on it, show a real form with a textbox. It will then also show the virtual keyboard. -

How do I implement a virtual keyboard? I will compensate for assistance.
I have created a simple Adobe Air Windowed Application. The application uses the mx:HTML controls to load a web page inside my application. I have tried other means to load the web page but due to formatting issue, all other methods fail to load the page correctly. Any solution will need to use the mx HTML controls.
I have added a virtual keyboard to my project. However, when I enter a text field and then select a key on the virtual keyboard, I lose focus on the text field.
I understand the concept of event listeners and using a variable to store the text field id and using a focus event to gain the id of the text field. However, I am not a programmer by no means and this is way above my head. I am looking for someone to spend 30 or 60 minutes adding the needed code to my project so I can use the virtual keyboard. I would be willing to send someone a gift card to their favorite restaurant as compensation.
I have included the 4 files that make up my project (File names are in read text).
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Joe

Why is the virtual keyboard on my new iPad showing up in the middle of the page instead of the bottom? It sometimes covers the area I'm trying to type in!
Tap and hold on the keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard. Select Dock and it will return to its normal position. You can turn off undocking and splitting of the keyboard at

Updated iPad to IOS 5.0.1. The virtual keyboard has vanished and I can't bring it up.
My iPad software was automatically updated to IOS 5.0.1 and the virtual keyboard will not come up now. My bluetooth is off and was not paired with another device so I'm not getting an ambient keyboard being picked up. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Be sure that your SIM is not an old cutted.
Anyway seems a SIM problem, so I suggest to exchange with a new one at your carrier. -

When I try to buy ibooks from my ipad, the virtual keyboard is not the same as my computer keyboard, and since my password consists of letters, numbers and symbols, the ipad keeps displaying "incorrect password". Is there any way around this please anybody?

Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character? -
Is there ANY wireless mouse that will work with the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard?
I have the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard and would like to purchase a wireless mouse that will accommodate my Apple products. I do understand that Apple's Magic Mouse is not compatible with the iPad 2, but would like to hear if there is any possibility that i could use a wireless mouse with my iPad.
Thanks :)You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.
Cheers, Tom
