A very useful iPad button

In case you‘re as unobservant as me, I thought I’d point out this useful button on the iPad keyboard. I didn’t notice it for at least a month:

A quick tap in the bottom-right minimizes the on-screen keyboard. This is essential in making stuff work in your web browser. Form fields and the like are frequently hidden under the keyboard in mobile Safari.

A tap-and-hold of this button lets you undock and/or split the on-screen keyboard. I don’t find undocking useful on my 10.5” iPad (there’s not really anywhere for it to go), but splitting is nice for handheld usage when it’s implemented correctly.

Find something useful? Buy me a coffee!
It's the best way to support my work.
