iPad Magic Keyboard - Key Config Options Wishlist

[Hallstar]

Hi all,

I have seen many posts in the last few days regarding the ‘missing’ function keys from the Magic Keyboard and that there is a belief that Apple may introduce configurable keys in iOS 14.

So I got to thinking about what options I would like to be able to configure to lesser used keys.

Are there any config’s you would like to see available?

Im surprised you cannot remap the globe button

You can, but the options are limited.

I tried to map it to esc but didn't see that option. Ill go back and check again

Yeah, you definitely can do that.

I wonder if maybe the Shortcuts app might be useful? There are controls in there for Media Playback, Volume, Brightness etc., and you can assign key combinations to different shortcuts. But I've never actually used it before so maybe it doesn't act the way I'm thinking.

It would be good if you could map that §± key at the top left to be the escape key...
