I bought this GOOJODOQ 3rd party keyboard for my M2 iPad Pro because it has an Esc key just like the new M4 iPad Pro keyboard.
GOOJODOQ Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 1
GOOJODOQ Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 2

But I haven't been able to use the Esc key in any app that I've tried so far. I had the YouTube app open and played a video in full screen mode. I assumed that the Esc key would minimize the video and revert to the main YouTube homepage but it did nothing. Same thing when I clicked on an item in Settings; I assumed that it would exit all of settings but it did nothing.

Is this the same behavior on the new M4 iPad Pro Apple Magic Keyboard as well? Meaning, is it software limitation? Or am I only experiencing this because of lack of integration with a 3rd party keyboard?

I specifically bought this 3rd party keyboard because of the Esc key, not because of cost. If it does nothing, I may as well get the official Apple Magic Keyboard for the M1/M2 iPP and at least get a functioning dedicated lock key.
