External keyboards

If you find that the keys 789uiojkl do not work, it is. because you have Mouse Keys turned on. You can turn it off at Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch > Pointer Devices > Mouse Keys

the strange thing is that the external keyboards do work on the iphone OS update 13.2. apparently the problem is only on the ipad.

It's only a very few people who have the problem at all, nobody knows why that setting would get turned on for some devices by itself.

Probably the same reason some users are getting the much smaller, floating mini swipe keyboard instead of the larger,,standard keyboard layout.
