Hi all, can we have a running thread on the little things/tricks/magic that you have learned and are doing right now to boost your iPad usage. It does not have to be a whole workflow, but just some hacks or habit that you have developed over the years using iPad as your driver.
I will start with some obvious improvements from iOS 11.
CMD + OPT + D brings up the dock. Saves time to swipe from bottom
CMD + SHIFT + 3 for screenshots
CMD + SHIFT + 4 brings up screenshot markup.

On iOS 10 (Does not work on Beta yet):
Textastic can get the file from Working Copy (Git client) directly. This allows you to edit the file from Textastic and have the change reflected in Working Copy ready to commit.
On Safari:
I am a heavy user of the Bookmarks sidebar. I think having them opened on the side and just tapping on your bookmarks is the fastest way to get to your work apps. Especially if you are managing a lot of pages.
For example if you are working with Wordpress. Instead of using their menu in the left sidebar, I prefer saving my most preferred pages in the Safari sidebar. It is faster for me and acts like its own website navigation.

In Safari you can use tap a link with two fingers to have it open on a background tab.
