Use your iPad as a keyboard with shortcuts for your Mac / Pc with Hotkeys

Hotkeys

Keyboard shortcuts are very useful key combinations to save time. When you get to know them well, accessing any function is much more comfortable and faster using these shortcuts, especially if you are using the keyboard, since you do not have to raise your hand, take your mouse or trackpad and search through the menus for the option you want. you seek. But this takes time and training. There is an application for iPad, Hotkeys, that turns it into a keyboard full of shortcuts that you can use with your Mac and your PC, so you can forget about memorizing those key combinations to use with Photoshop, Safari, or many other applications.

You can create different "packs" of shortcuts, with different combinations of keys, to use them with different applications or different computers (one for Mac and one for Windows, for example). And if you want to customize any of the keys, keep pressed on it until it shakes, click on the "x" to delete it or on the orange button in the upper right corner to edit it. The application has default packages, but you can create packages from scratch, which takes time.

Because the editing of each function is laborious. First, you need to know the correct key combination for each function, and sometimes finding the right combination can be a bit 'cumbersome'. The truth is that the spinning wheel system is perhaps not the most suitable given the number of key combinations available. A virtual keyboard would have been much more practical. Remember that you can also only configure key combinations that are pressed simultaneously, no keystrokes at different times, or scripts. Each key can be labeled as it best reminds you of its function. Here we find another point of improvement, because perhaps being able to assign icons to certain functions would have been visually more practical than having to read the labels of each key.

Despite these two small drawbacks, it is still a very practical application, and it is also free. You need to download an application for iPad, and another for Mac and Windows. You can download those for Mac and iOS from their respective application stores, the Windows one from its official website.
