I have a Logictech keyboard for my iPad Pro but sometimes want to disconnect it and just use the iPad while standing at a board. When trying to navigate up and down a column I have to keep hitting return . Is there a better way? Are there 'arrow keys' somewhere hidden in the built-in keyboard (or a substitute )? Thanks in advance for any replies.
 
The only navigation keys are for column to column, like a tab key might do. Also, on the date and numeric keyboards, there’s a “Return” key that functions similarly to hitting Enter in Excel, taking you to the next row (sometimes to the first column of the next row). There are no keys for moving up/back on the on-screen keyboards.

Thanks. Really wondering why Apple doesn’t include arrow keys. Oh..well.
