The iPad is a product that, as a result of using it, usually contains a fair amount of things we don't know, and much more with the advent of iPadOS, which involves several functionality that brings it, if possible, to macOS and makes it more productive. However, like any platform, if we do not know all the shortcuts involved, we will not be able to use its power. What we bring to you today is a series of tricks that will allow you to get the most out of your iPad and get everything you can right away.
Select and move multiple files at once
With iPadOS among other things we can select files and drag them between apps and locations easily, This was something many experienced iPad users were looking for, and Apple agreed to include it in its quest to make the iPad a more productive product. As we say, you can select several files at a time and drag them directly to their new location without any problem.
You must select these files using the right mouse button at the top of the screen, and makes extended clicks to move the file as if you are moving any application, it will move them all at once to their new location.
Take a look at the two split screen systems
Multitasking is a good advantage of iPadOS for iOS, for this we can select two programs to simultaneously open and adjust the screen in three dimensions, the ability to evenly distribute the size we allocate to each application.
This should open the app, drag the Docket below and select the application we want to open in Split View by making a long press and placing it to the left or right of the screen. It will be split into two halves and will allow us to quickly change the size of each assigned part.
Text selection on iPad
One of the benefits of 3D Touch or Haptic Touch is that they allow us to easily select text, we can move between letters and words to replace, delete, or edit text quickly and easily, Is that feature on the iPad?
Yes, we can choose the text correctly on the iPad, in this case we have to press two fingers on the iPad keyboard and will allow us to go just as we did on the iPhone quickly and easily, which will make us more productive when it comes to writing without hesitation.
Slide Over – A floating app for iPad
If we don't want to split the screen between multiple programs with Split View because we want to use one app for a few seconds and remove it immediately Apple has the solution for us on iPadOS.
Slide Over allows us to open any compatible app on the floating screen and make it fully functional without losing the content behind us, for example we can open a small App Store to download an App while editing text and close it, since this is for Dock, select the application we want and leave it anywhere on the screen instead of dumping it in the end. Slide Over is fully compatible with Split View, so we can have up to two applications at once.
Sharing iCloud Drive folders
Cloud storage for Apple It is widely used by many of its users and we all have 5GB totally free. The most productive of the folder sharing functionality, which is for some reason long overdue on iOS.
ICloud folder sharing we simply go to the Files app, select it, press the context menu Share and it will work together, prompting all changes immediately.
IPad keyboard tricks
Typing on an iPad keyboard is sometimes a problem, especially horizontally and now with a standard size of 10.2 inches. However, you are wrong if you think that iPadOS only has a keyboard rating. If you click the button with the right keyboard icon below you can select these options:
- Split keyboard: One small keyboard is on each side of the screen that you can write with one hand.
- Floating: A small floating keyboard similar to the iPhone will also allow us to write using the "swype" function without pressing the buttons.
Quick navigation bar
Tired of scrolling through a web page? Even if what you need to quickly access page 233 of the EPOS PDF is a solution for you, and that although many do not know it, we do fast navigation bar.
When you scroll thanks a small bar to the right of the screen, because if you leave it pressed you can focus faster or higher faster than making a standard scroll on the screen, what do you think?
Copy suggestions and simple pastries
Another trick you may not know is that you can quickly copy, paste and trim inside any app file management with a few simple touches we leave you below:
- Copy: Pin with three fingers on file
- Paste: Zoom in with 3 fingers in place
- Cut: Perform the above copying action twice in a row
No longer having to use keyboard shortcuts, this is especially effective if you have small fingers when you're not using the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
Set home screen
The iPad OS looks a lot like macOS and for that reason we also have the opportunity to fix some things on Springboard. In this case it is just necessary that in a horizontal format we slide from left to right.
In the menu of Widgets It will allow us to fix it on the iPad home screen and this will allow us to access your information all the time and quickly.
