A weird error: exactly one key on my Logi Slim Combo for iPad — the Right Arrow key — is not doing what it’s supposed to, and the problem only occurs in one app, Pages on iOS 13.1.
I haven’t upgraded my iPad to 13.2 yet so I don’t know if it’s been fixed, but currently Right Arrow moves the cursor to the LEFT. Left Arrow also moves the cursor to the left. Option+Right Arrow moves the cursor one word to the right, as it’s supposed to.
Pressing Option+right arrow will help this situation temporarily. And I found that Keynote also has the same symptom.
Hi ab_kc,
Have you checked with Logitech they may have a better grip on what could be happening.

Jakob, it did not. Slim Combo is not playing nice with either iWork app that I've tested it on: Pages, Numbers.
I haven't done anything lately on Keynote so I can't confirm the bug is across the entire iWork suite, but certainly those two apps.
Hi ab_kc,
You can send Apple a bug report.

Thanks! I went to the feedback site and noticed that iPadOS 13 had finally dropped. So let me install that first and then we’ll see if Slim Combo is still shading my right-arrow clicks in Pages.
Yes, I noted that above in my opening post, although word jump is not what I need in those situations, and it bogs down productivity.
Thank you for noting the Keynote problem. We have a situation across ALL iWork apps, Apple!
Fixed! Get your iPadOS update, it should work now.
There’s still some screwball behavior with the Slim Combo at times. I find myself having to tear off and re-attach the keyboard quite often. Just a few moments ago in Pages the cursor started running up the screen like a chicken on the loose.
But that kind of flakiness can at least be corrected. It was aggravating not being able to get Right-Arrow working. It works now.
I did! Waiting to hear back. But it’s a piece of hardware that plays nice with every iOS app ... until Pages three days ago.
Hi ab_kc-tv
Did that solve the problem for you? I have the exact same problem and installing iPadOS 13 does not solve it.

I’m having the same problem, except that when I press the right arrow button in Pages it actually goes to the left, but works fine when I try to select text.
I'm having the same problem with my 2018 iPad Pro and Smart Keyboard Folio. Different hardware, same problem. :(
Same with Apple´s smart keyboard folio.
