    Ipad Pro keyboard for iPad Air 2

    Hey everyone, I'd like to crowdsource a question about keyboards. I have an Air 2 and I'd like a minimal keyboard. The ideal would be an iPad Pro cover/keyboard for the iPad Air 2. I like way the keyboard works as a cover on the iPad Pro - similar to the Smart Cover that you can purchase (I...

    Ctrl+Tab not switching tabs

    After updating to El Cap 10.11.3 from Yose: Switching between tabs in Safari or Finder doesn't work using Ctrl+Tab. It works only for switching between tool buttons. In Chrome and Firefox it still works as before. Have had this problem before upon updating major versions.

    iPad Pro Displaying the onscreen keyboard with keyboard attached

    Hi all, Is there any way to display the on-screen keyboard while a physical keyboard is attached? This used to work nicely with the BT ones, just switch them off and the onscreen keyboard would appear. It's not that easy now (and not practical if one wants the iPad to remain in the stand)...

    Button stuck (but not physically stuck?)

    I'm suddenly having a weird problem with my Retina MBP - the 'a' button seems stuck, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the physical button itself... the accent bubble that comes up when you hold down A is constantly appearing in any text boxes, and when I'm on desktop there's a...

    iPad Pro Seriously, STILL NO KEYBOARDS FROM 3RD PARTIES?????

    THIS IS RIDICULOUS. Can anyone offer any explanations as to why there have NOT YET BEEN any third party smart connecting keyboards for the iPP????? OTHER THAN THAT MONSTROSITY FROM LOGITECH? Is Apple restricting compatible keyboards into the marketplace until they can sell x amount of their...

    iPad Pro Keyboard Idea

    Samsung introduced the Galaxy Tablet Pro S. I really like the keyboard design. Essentially, the back cover flap stays on the back of the tablet magnetically, which allows two viewing modes. When closed, it is EXTREMELY THIN AND LIGHTWEIGHT. Mind you, this device runs full Windows 10. The...

    iPad Pro ONLY TWO SMART KEYBOARDS????

    I've had the iPP for two weeks. I'm actually buying the SP4 tonight to compare the two devices. I've been holding onto the iPP hoping that third parties would debut their smart keyboard covers for the iPP. What is taking so long? Does anyone know why there are only TWO smart keyboards in the...
