    Use keyboard shortcuts

    In the Shortcut Bar, you’ll find quick editing tools like undo, redo, copy, paste, bold, underline, insert image, and more. Third-party apps can also customize the Shortcut Bar with different shortcuts depending on the app.

    To turn on keyboard shortcuts, go to Settings > General > Keyboard. Then tap the slider for Shortcuts.

    In some apps you might see the  or  on your keyboard. From here, you can add images or attachments from within the app. For example, in Notes, you can tap  to insert a saved photo or video, or take a new one. In Mail, tap  or  to add a photo, video, or attachment.

    unfortunately this doesn't work. All the sliders under 'Keyboards' in Settings are already on but the only shortcuts available at the top of my on-screen keyboard are :

    on the left:

    - the button that allows you to choose between tab and indent ( thereby requiring two clicks per choice)

    - the font choice button

    in the middle:

    - 3 boxes with suggested words in them

    on the right:

    - font size

    - text alignment

    -page/line/column break button.

     

    I still have to go through the paintbrush icon to italicise. The previous version of Pages had a shortcut
