Problem with navigation on iPad Pro Magic keyboard

Hi there,

It’s been frustrating using the IPad Pro Magic keyboard just trying to type some notes. In particular, on Microsoft OneNote and even as i am typing my post here. And I’m not sure if there is anything that i missed or its a limitation.

1- Pressing on the left or right arrow keys does not bring the cursor back one character or move foreward one character within the sentence. All i see is the cursor flickering or scrolling slowly on the page. Am i expected to use the track pad to move the cursor whenever i need to perform the above required action?

Same goes to FILE app. Pressing the arrow keys doesn’t bring the selection from one file to the other ?See the screen capture below. I am not able to move from “on My iPad” to “Recently Deleted” or “iCloud Drive”folder using the up and down arrow.

This is very frustrating. Pressing the arrows keys trigger the selection of different object/selection on the page instead of just moving one character.

2- TAB key

How can I do away from the highlight on the different items on the screen whenever the TAB key is pressed? Each press on the TAB key, the next object on the page will be selected. Is there a way to “escape” from that mode when required? Referencing to the above screen capture, i am referring to the highlighted blue box on BROWSE.

Please help; Thanks!
