All the New Keyboard Shortcuts in iOS 7


iOS: While a keyboard certainly isn't always useful with your iPhone or iPad, keyboard shortcuts certainly are. MacStories has started a running list of all the new shortcuts for Safari, Mail, and Pages.

For the most part, all the text editing keyboard shortcuts have worked in iOS for a long time, but MacStories has collected a few of the new ones in iOS 7:

Safari

L to Open Location

T to open a new tab

W to close the current tab

R to refresh the current tab

. to stop loading the current tab

Mail

N to create a new message

⇧D to send a message (from the Compose screen, it also works in other apps that implement a Mail sharing feature)

Backspace key to delete the currently selected message

Up/down arrows to select suggested email address in To/CC/BCC popover fields

Pages

⇧K to comment

⌥K to show next comment

⌥⇧K to show previous comment

MacStories' list is still growing, so head over there for the always updating list of new keyboard shortcuts.
