The on-screen keyboard does not include special function keys, such as <Crtl> and Function keys. For the iPad touch user-interface, these functions are not directly available.


If you require a full-function keyboard to replace the touch UI, you’ll need to use an external keyboard - that connects via the iPad’s proprietary Smart Connector, USB or Bluetooth.
