iOS 11 Keyboard Shortcuts not Working

Today I updated my iPad Pro 9.7 to iOS 11, and was disappointed to find that none of the keyboard commands work on my iPad (ie. Cmd+Tab for app switcher). I’m using a ZAGG folio case that worked amazingly with iOS 10, and I was looking forward to being able to use my iPad as a laptop replacement. I tried connecting to another bluetooth keyboard, and its command key works fine, just seems to be a translation error over softwares. Just wondering if anyone else got similar issues and seeing if I could get the word out to the devs. Great job on iOS to anyone who worked on it!!

Update: Yesterday, while browsing, it seems Apple has noticed this issue. The keyboard commands were working for about five minutes, then went back to not working. This cycle happened about five times more, but ultimately ended same as it began: today the commands still don’t work. Also, I’m realizing some of the keys change depending on the language I’m using. For example, if I type the semicolon key in Mexican while making a Spanish flash card set, I get an ñ. And some weird commands work, like in safari Using (CTRL+Tab) in safari moves between tabs, which should be (CMD+Shift+Left/Right Arrow). Anyway, helpful to know Apple is working to help fix this issue.
