A 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 peripherals like the Satechi Aluminium
Bluetooth Keyboard. Apple says we’ll have more than
30 new shortcuts to choose from, and it highlighted
