Apostrophe trick on iPad keyboard

[jonnyb]

There's no need to hold it down. Just swipe up on the key and the apostrophe will appear.

the explanation point/comma

Am I the only one that is driven nuts by this? I don't mean to be a grammar/spelling Nazi, but c'mon...

It's exclamation point. Not explanation point.

Hey thanks for the tip!

Here's one for you ...

Say you want a capital letter, rather than tapping the shift button then tapping the letter then tapping the shift button again, instead simply touch the shift button then slide your finger over to the letter of your choice then let go & you're sorted! No need to press the shift button afterwards ... I use this all the time and it speeds up text entry no end.

Can also be used for numbers and -/:;()£&@.,?!'" etc!

Give it a try ...

Also, I'm sure you know this one but in case you don't ... you can "shake" an iOS device to undo typing, deleting, cutting and pasting text ;-)

As we're sharing keyboard tips, my favourite is this:

Go to Settings/General/Keyboard/Shortcuts and you can set up shortcuts. For example I've got it set so if I type myemail it automatically puts in my home email address. workemail automatically puts in my work email address etc.
