Escape key not working on my new Magic keyboard
Just purchased new iPad Pro 11 with the Magic M4 keyboard. The Escape key does not work. I have tried everything. Defective unit?

What it should do is at the very least; close down an app instead of having to continually do a three finger swipe up on the trackpad.
i have other keyboards and they have dedicated keys to get out of an app, why on earth the esc key cannot do this is simply weird.
Thanks Tom, I have already raised this feedback (had to do it by selecting iPad as there is no selection for the Magic Keyboard).
Reference those shortcuts you provided, they are app specific and the MKB does not have a dedicated [Fn] button. Although yes [cmd] H does take you back to the Home Screen.
To ask Apple to fix that, you can use
hhttp://www.apple.com/feedback
in the meantime, some standard shortcuts
Ive never used the key on a mac, but do have a new 11” Pro and keyboard, and ive tried the Esc key, and it doesnt do anything for me either.
I don’t believe the ‘esc’ key has much support. Safari videos changing from full screen to window does.

What do you want it to do? What app? iPad apps usually have another way to do things that ESC does on a full computer.
