Hello CatGriever,

That would be command + right arrow (to go to the next Home Screen page), and command + left arrow (to go to the previous Home Screen page).

Why does my iPad not show the Home Screen when closing apps? I use an iPad with a keyboard, and when I close an app using CMD+W, I want the Home Screen to be displayed instead of the last app I was using. I don't know why this happens; it’s so annoying. Is there a way to make this the default behavior? Every time I close an app, I want to go directly to the Home Screen. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How to return to Home Screen? I recently upgraded to a 10th Generation 10.9-inch iPad. Unlike my previous iPad, this one does not have a button on the side that you can press to return to the Home Screen. So when I am on an app, what do I click to exit the app and return to the Home Screen? Apologies in advance if this seems like a dumb question. Thanks.
