Using a Bluetooth keyboard is becoming more common among those who use their iPad for writing tasks. The diversity and quality of existing models, as well as their increasingly affordable price, make using a physical keyboard with an iPad (and even with an iPhone) relatively normal today. One of the things that bothers me the most when I'm typing with this type of keyboard is having to lift my hands off the keyboard to perform a task with the iPad touching the screen. Luckily, I'm increasingly using the keyboard shortcuts that I'm getting to know from using my MacBook. But many iPad users don't use Mac OS X, so these shortcuts may be completely unknown to them. We are going to detail you a fairly wide list so that you can select the ones that are most useful to you.

Is there a shortcut for the "Submit" function? It is very uncomfortable to be writing for example in iMessage and having to give the screen to send.
Thank you.
A greeting.
I'm afraid not. I have been looking and there are many sites with the same question but the answer in all is the same: No. Sorry.
