How do I find the 'tab' key on a floating keyboard for typing practice?

You’ll need a third-party on-screen keyboard app, or a Bluetooth keyboard, then.

An on-screen keyboard is a poor way to learn to type. You need a physical keyboard that is a standard size and produces tactile feedback to master touch typing.

Other manufacturers also offer a wide variety of options.

Various local full iPad on-screen keyboards do have a tab.

The floating keyboards I’ve checked do not offer a tab.

I’m unaware of how to add a tab onto a floating keyboard without installing some third-party app with that feature.

An external Bluetooth keyboard can be another option.

Thanks but I do not see this keyboard.

The larger keyboard with a number row, tab, caps lock, etc. is only available on certain larger iPad models.

Absolutely.

No nubs on the home row of an on-screen keyboard, among the other issues for learning to type, and type fast.

This is not to claim somebody cannot type quickly with an on-screen keyboard.

You just have to look for placement and keyboard mode with an on-screen, which slows it all down.
