ESC is literally a shortcut for CTRL-[ (control and left bracket). Type that.
That shortcut doesn’t work either.

Just tried it after seeing the vid and your comment. Seems like you have to tap it twice vs once, but works consistently in a quick test on YouTube. (Set Globe key = ESC, open vid in full-screen, tap globe key twice and it exits full screen mode)Regarding the Esc function, I‘ve tried using command and period key and also remapping the the globe key, but neither work all that well because sites like YouTube and Netflix still don’t recognize the function e.g. Exit full screen video.
OK figured it out. It does work when viewing YouTube videos in browser (Safari) but not through the YouTube app.Just tried it after seeing the vid and your comment.

Well, I finally decided to by the MK. Shipping in 2 to 3 weeks. My guess is there is more demand than Apple expected for it. My iPad will get far more use now as both a tablet, and for basic computing with the keyboard becasue of how easy it attaches and detaches.
Also, as a really nice charging dock for it.
Thanks! I cancelled my Apple order and bought it at Best Buy. Delivery by this TUESDAY!Best Buy is showing the 12.9” versions in stock and arriving by Thursday if ordered today.
More functionality at the same price but thinner and less weight? Yeah, who in their right mind wants that?Not everybody wants a MacBook
Yep, I ordered mines yesterday, it’s arriving on tuesday. I wasthinking of buying via Apple and using the student discount, but the shipping date was more than 2-3 weeks...Best Buy is showing the 12.9” versions in stock and arriving by Thursday if ordered today.

There might be room on the 12.9” Magic Keyboard but there definitely isn’t on the 11” (I only have the 11”). Even getting to the number row and the delete key are problematic on the 11”. I’m getting used to it but having another, even very thin row is just not practical.So basically a whole lot of problems could have been solved with a row of function keys?
Not possible with the Magic Keyboard. The Smart Connector is on the side of the iPad Pro. There is no possible connection in Portrait with this keyboard.anyone know an option for portrait mode with this? Nobody seems to be asking..
or perhaps more accurately, many people want THIS. I know I’ve been waiting a long time for it![]()
It is under General->Keyboard->Hardware Keyboard->Modifier Keys. You only have this menu item if you have a hardware keyboard attached.I don't have the option to select the ESC in the keyboard settings.
That function row magic keyboard is exclusive to the next iPad Pro model![]()
Also if you are using multiple languages (I write in English and Thai) pressing the globe key cycles, English, Emoji, Thai, English.You don’t swipe down to go home, you swipe up. You swipe up and hold to go to multitasking, similar to the home bar but with three fingers.
you also don’t need to press the down arrow key on the keyboard before showing the virtual keyboard, a touch-and-hold on the down arrow is good enough.
Just buy a Macbook. It'll work and save you money.

I just use my iMacˋs Magic Keyboard, if I feel the need for it. Saves me, at least, 200 bucks. 🤷♂️
Not everybody wants a MacBook
Yep love mine
12.9 and MK has replaced my laptop and now it’s a perfect 2 in one device
If it weighed less, was a real 360 hinge convertible with proper keyboard and trackpad, real OS.
Yes. It would be a perfect convertible.
Basically just make the MacBook 12 convertible with pen support.
Put Arm in it if you really have to.
It's not that hard apple. Let's go.
But then it wouldn't make much sense to use an iPad in the first place.🤔You are missing out on my favorite things of the ipads magic keyboard though. The trackpad and using it comfortably on your lap.
