      I just finished leafing through all six hundred and some pages of the user guide for my new iPad and found quite a few things I hope to explore further, which I took screen shots of and put them in photos for reference later. I found that most things it can do I am not interested in since at 84 I have narrowed my hobbies to those I really enjoy.

    I gather some folks didn’t know about the swipe down feature on the keyboard. You could also mention that some keys, if pressed and held, pop up any accents that apply. I don’t know them all, but pressing and holding a gives 11 accent options, e gives 9, and n produces four accent options.

    There are extra characters and symbols underneath the shown keyboard characters. Hold on the keys and it will display these. Not all keys have extra characters. I find the 0 held is nice because you can get to the temperature (degrees) symbol. “°”

    The swipe down on the top row (keyboard) is very handy and also explained by sometimes I accidentally type a number. Now I know. The scan to PDF is really handy. Especially when my third-party scanning apps misbehave. The ability to turn a messy circle, square, or other basic shapes into a "perfect" shape is a great thing to know. The corner gesture is also very useful. However, the ability to press and hold the keyboard icon does not do anything on an iPad 6th gen. Glad I watched this video. I learned several new things today. Once I have spare mice, I will try the trick. Thank you.
