question mark ios keyboard split

I thought that maybe you were using the flick keys, but even with the flick keys enabled, I can type the ? and the ! in the split keyboard.

Try it this way. Split the keyboard. Then tap the .?123 key. Then tap the key next to the ? key. Then tap the question mark or the exclamation mark key.

BTW, you would be surprised what a screenshot can reveal. I have helped people who swore that they did something in the settings, and when they posted a screenshot, it was clear that they didn’t do what they said they did.

Why can't you use the question and exclamation marks exactly?

Note that the keyboard is context sensitive and available keys can change depending on where you are typing.

If you see the same layout as Demo, then pulling down on the key should let you type the question and exclamation marks.

Otherwise you can tap on the [#+=] key to bring up the symbols keyboard. The question and exaclamation marks should be available there.

Which iPad do you have?! No problem on my iPad Air 2, other than I personally hate the split keyboard. It does work for me though.

I assume that you can use the split keyboard but don’t have the ! or the ? available. Is that what you are saying? If so, can you post a screenshot? My keyboard is U.S. English QWERTY.

You’re welcome. I’m not sure why it won’t work with the shift key. It shouldn’t be that difficult to use.
