How to diaable search spotlight keyboard shortcut (Cmd + Space) on ipad

How do I disable this keyboard shortcut on my ipad pro with external keyboard? I am forever bringing up the search box accidently when I am writing, and it is truly driving me mad!

Hi Paul Bell Media,


It appears you're wondering if you can disable a certain keyboard shortcut for your iPad Pro and external keyboard. Check out the information below, from the following article, on how to customize or change keyboard shortcuts: Learn iPad keyboard shortcuts - Apple Support


"Customize keyboard shortcuts

  1. Open Settings, then tap Accessibility.
  2. Tap Keyboards.
  3. Tap Full Keyboard Access and turn it on.
  4. Tap Commands.
  5. Tap a command, then press a custom key combination to assign to it.
  6. Tap Done."


You can change the shortcut so that you no longer trigger that specific shortcut anymore.


Take care.
