DECEMBER 2019 MACWORLD 49A PILE OF NEW KEYBOARD
SHORTCUTS
One of the best reasons for preferring
macOS over iOS has long been Apple’s
extensive support for keyboard shortcuts.
With iPadOS, though, Apple is giving us a
Mac-like shortcut experience on Safari
when we’re using either Apple’s own
Smart Keyboards or third-party Bluetooth

Use default font size in Reader (⌘-0)
Open link in background (⌘-tap)
Toggle downloads (⌘-Option)
Open link in new window (⌘-Option-tap)
Use selection for Find (⌘-E)
Email this page (⌘-I)
Open link in new tab (⌘-Shift-tap)
> Decrease Reader text size (⌘—)
> Zoom in (⌘-+)
> Zoom out (⌘—)
> Save webpage (⌘-S)
> Change focused element (Option-Tab)
> Focus Smart Search field (⌘-Option -F)
> Dismiss web view in app (⌘-W)
> Increase Reader text size (⌘-+)
> Download linked file (Option-tap)
> Add link to Reading List (Shift-tap)
> Close other tabs (⌘-Option-W)
> Scroll around screen (arrow keys)
> Paste without formatting (⌘-Shift-Option-V)
> New Private tab (⌘-Shift-N)
> Actual size (⌘-0)
> Open search result (⌘-Return)
> Toggle bookmarks (⌘-Alt-1)BETTER MULTITASKING
One of iPadOS’s best new features is that

multiple Split View windows with the same
app. That’ll be particularly useful with
