iPad Keyboard Shortcuts （also fits laptop keyboard ）
- Ctrl+Alt+S silences VoiceOver
- Ctrl+Alt+H equates to a Home button press (do it twice to show the task bar, add a little pause to go to Spotlight)
- Ctrl+Alt+I pops up the Item Chooser, which allows you to pick just about any accessible element on the screen and jump to it – try it on your home screen to get a nice list of folders and apps
- Left+Right to go into quick navigation mode and go over all the accessible UI elements
- Up+Down to “press” a UI element
- Alt+Arrow Keys to scroll a screenful at a time (in an app, sideways on the home screen, etc.)
- Cmd-Shift-Tab switches “right” to the previous app, just like a four-finger swipe (think of it as a way to move back
- through the task switcher)
- Cmd-Tab switches back “left” to the app you were originally in (the screen will bounce a little when you’re already on the “latest” app)
- Left+Right followed by Option-Left/Right to page through your dock (if you go all the way left, you’ll get to the volume, playback and brightness controls)
