CMD+Q as universal quit icon please?

Hi everyone,

I think it would be great to have CMD+Q as a universal “Quit & Close Applikation” command when using the smart-keyboard. While CMD+H does get me back to the homescreen and swiping up and flipping applications out is indeed easy to do, it’s still very time consuming while being speedy on the smart-keyboard.

Thanks!

iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi

What is the keyboard shortcut to close an application using iPad Pro Magic Keyboard? On MacOS, CMD + Q (for Quit app) quickly closes an application you’re in. How to accomplish the same on iPad Pro w/ Magic Keyboard? Swipe action(s) absent a keyboard shortcut method?

Two full-screen windows of the same app; any way to switch between those two windows (similar to the way command-` works in non-full-screen apps) using only the keyboard? If I have two full-screen windows of the same app, is there any way to switch between those two windows (similar to the way ⌘-` works in non-full-screen apps) using only the keyboard? I know you can switch between spaces using control with the left & right arrow keys, but what I'm after is a way to toggle between windows of the same application, not between spaces. Essentially, looking for the ⌘-` behavior with full-screen windows as well. Things that don't work: Four-finger swiping with mission control (toggles spaces, not windows of the same app) System Preferences -> Mission Control -> When switching to an application, switch to space (doesn't allow toggling between two full-screen windows of the same app) Anything that toggles between spaces rather than full-screen windows of the same app Third-party solutions would be ok too. Thanks!

iPadOS 16, close app with keyboard I have a iPad Pro with the Apple Magic Keyboard, I was coming from a MacBook a while back and when I would close applications I would always hit the CMD + Q but that shortcut does not work on iPadOS (16.5.1) and I’m curious if there is another shortcut that I’m not aware of?

You are totally right. I didn’t seem to find the place to that although I’m pretty quick with stuff like that. Thanks for your reply!
