Some keys on Logitech slim combo keyboard for ipad pro not working

The apostrophe, &, \ backslash and < keys did not work after I updated to OS 13.4. I called Apple support (I told Apple support this started after I upgraded to 13.4) and they had no fix for my problem. They suggested I buy a new keyboard since mine is out of warranty or call Logitech to see if they would replace the keyboard. Luckily, I went on Logitech's community and found the fix. Go to your iPad settings—general. Click on “Keyboard” and change the setting from “Automatic” to “English” or in my case English—ABC extended. Now the keys work. It will save you from buying a new keyboard and a lot of time with Apple support.

I found an additional tip for this, and now "Automatic" works!

Accessibility Warning: If you have motor accessibility needs that require you to "activate" accessibility shortcuts with the space bar, I'd suggest having someone with you to assist if anything breaks during these steps.

Here are the steps:

Open Settings
Tap "Accessibility"
Under "Physical and Motor," tap "Keyboards"
Tap "Full Keyboard Access." Yours may be set to "Off," but continue anyway!
Tap "Commands"
Under "Basic," you'll see that "Activate" is set to "space." Remove it.
Check to make sure "space" is nowhere else on the page.

You should now be able to switch your keyboard (under General -> Keyboard -> Hardware Keyboards) back to "Automatic" with no issues.

I'll report back if anything changes!
