Globe and Fn keys don’t work? (iPad Pro 11” 4th Gen) (ZAGG Pro Keys)

Hi!


I want to take advantage of the new window shortcuts in iPadOS 26, which all use either the Globe key or the Fn key (depending on your external keyboard). I have both Globe AND Fn on my keyboard, but…neither of them work.


The Modifier Key settings don’t even show the Globe key or Function key as available keys to assign, even though they’re right there on my keyboard.


The weird thing is that my Function key only works for the few commands within the keyboard itself, like changing the backlight color/brightness, or showing the battery indicator light. Meanwhile, the Globe key has zero functionality apart from…Safari recognizing it as the space bar…apparently? It scrolls the page down and pauses YouTube videos like the space bar would. Regardless, neither the Fn key nor the Globe key seem to be working as intended.


Has anyone else run into this issue? Any way of fixing it so I can use the globe and/or function keys? Thanks 🙏 I’m using the ZAGG Pro Keys for the iPad Pro 11” (2022).
