iPad Tips & Tricks

By chance, in an unrelated thread here, I found out that an upwards swipe on the "," key will give you a "'" while typing.

Are there any more of these little undocumented (not that I have RTFM, though 😀 ) tips & tricks that you guys can share?

That actually works with consonants as well (some of them) - you get the characters which are not on the English keyboard. Great if English is the only language you write in.
