iPad Magic keyboard shortcuts to print

I am trying to save an email to PDF.

I currently have to click the arrow share icon in bottom right corner to bring up the various options (print being one of them). Then to print to pdf I have to use the pinch zoom to bring it as a pdf, then by clicking the share icon, I can save it to dropbox.

I am wondering, it would save me alot of time, if there was a shortcut to at least do a Command+P (Like on mac) to skip a couple of steps there of clicking on the trackpad on ipad.

Any suggestions?

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell

Hello,

Most applications that support printing also support the ⌘ (Command) - P shortcut to print. It ultimately is up to the application to implement this feature. For instance, Safari supports this feature.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

Yeah, it’s peculiar that this isn’t available for the native Mail App. Works well for Safari, but I often need to print emails to PDF for work.

Even a keyboard shortcut for the “share” arrow at bottom right would be helpful. Hopefully in IPadOS14 this will be addressed...going to watch the keynote now :)

Thanks

Danny
