I read your Keyboard Tips & Tricks for iPads or iPhones. I don’t know how you can get to the other 2 layers. Where do we go to pull up the keypad to enter the shortcuts in? I tried in notes and an email and it will not work there. It just shows what you type and there is no where to click to make it pull up the 2nd and 3rd layer.
To pull up the keyboard, you start typing in field that requires typing and it should pop up automatically. To get to the second layer of the keyboard, just tap the .?123 key on either the right or left side of the keyboard.

Hi Cynthia
your iPad tips (and the others too!) are much appreciated. I’m an early adopter (i.e. iPad 1) but still loving it.
Question: how do I delete the character to the right of the cursor?
Backspace deletes to the left.
In BlackBerry land, Alt/Backspace deletes to the right.
does iPad have that facility? which would be so much quicker/easier than manually moving the cursor . . . .
tks
Hi Seymour,
Unfortunately, the built in keyboard on an iPad does not have a delete function, as opposed to backspace. You would have to move your cursor to where you need to delete than use the backspace (x) to erase. You can make it easier to move your cursor where you’d like it by using the magnify function, by doing a long press.
