Hello, is there a way to use Colemak, Dvorak and Bépo on iPad without downloading third party app/keyboard.

You can use Dvorak and Colemak with a hardware keyboard without any third party add-ons. But I think they may only be available with the keyboard set to English.

Hello ~You can change keyboard language but to the options you are asking about you will need to download from App Store. Take a look here for changes you can make without app:

I use the Magic Keyboard(UK) with my iPad and I can see the Dvorak under the Hardware Keyboard layout list (General -> Keyboard -> Hardware Keyboard) but Colemak is not available. Is there a way to assign the Colemak layout to the hardware keyboard?

I think you may need to switch to English (US) to have Colemak.

To ask Apple to add this to English (UK), you can use

When set to English you can choose QWERTY,AZERTY and QWERTZ but that is not with hardware keyboard.

When you have a hardware keyboard connected, a new item called Hardware Keyboard appears in settings > general > keyboard and this has a large number of options for the key mapping.

Tried changing the Language & Region to US english but it didn't work. iPad picks up the keyboard as UK english (which it is) and doesn't list down Colemak.

I'll make a requst using the link mentioned. Thanks!

That's not the right place. Try going to settings > general > keyboard > keyboards and replace English (UK) by English (US).

Hello again~ On my iPad 8th gen. When set to English you can choose QWERTY,AZERTY and QWERTZ but that is not with hardware keyboard. Which keyboard are you using?
