    Great video as always! Thank you. Keep up the great work! I run a small but growing business from my iPad Pro. Your last video like this one pushed me to switching over to my iPad completely, from a ThinkPad notebook. There are some things I miss about using a notebook such as the ThinkPad keyboard but in all honesty, I can do everything I need to do using an iPad now. I just wish connecting up to a large monitor was better - the replication of the 4:3 ratio is quite annoying. I'm not a fan of Shiftscreen. Thanks again!

      Thanks Jonathan! Nice to know my videos are useful to you! Very glad to hear as well your business is doing well, and running it on iPad Pro, that’s great! 👍🏻 let’s see in Apple’s event next week if they will give us hope about using the iPad on an external monitor 🤞 All the best to you! Take care! Hope to catch you again in my next video! 😊

      I found that if you press globe+' you switch between windows. The problem is that the K380 has the globe key only accessible via Fn, so it doesn't work. So I changed the CTRL key to act as a globe, and then the magic happened! (sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil)

    Hello! I have a question about the keyboard. My dad suprised me with the same keyboard and I´ve been using it for a few weeks now. At first it was ok but then as I used it more, the special keys somehow keep switching with other keys when I type. I am currently writing a script for a project and this has been slowing me down. For example, when I press shift and the plus key, it does this, ¿. The period and and comma button doesn´t seem to be affected, but then when I press shift plus the comma key, it does this, ;. Anyway, I love your videos and it all has been useful in helping me navigating the K380 keyboard!

    I have a logitech K380 keyboard that I use with my iPad Pro. It was great until all of a sudden it wouldn’t type letters any longer and if I hit the enter key it opens Safari at the last used webpage. I contacted logitech but they couldn’t help me but sent me a new keyboard. I set up the new keyboard and the exact same thing is happening. However I tried it on my old iPad Air and it works just fine. Therefore I assume that’s the problem has to do with the iPad Pro but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to fix it.

    How do you add a new line in the same cell at google sheet?

      I just replied to your same comment in another video. I don’t think it works in google sheets app in iPad. You can do it if you are using google sheet webapp in desktop mode. Use ctrl or optn or cmd and enter to make another line inside a cell.

    I'm "special". Bad hand control. I want to eliminate ALL shortcuts. Mostly the ones that use the space bar to open some screwy widgets.

    The f4-f7 functions are really lame. The only bad thing about this keyboard. It could have a brightness shortcut!

      Checkout the k380 specs and system requirements www.logitech.com/en-us/products/keyboards/k380-multi-device.920-009599.html I guess as long as you have the compatible iOS it should work.
