Ever attached a PC keyboard to your iPad only to find that the ⌘ and ⌥ keys are the wrong way around and fumed at Apple for not even offering an option to remap modifier keys on iPad? Well, you are not alone to have traveled through this annoying path. Thankfully, this problem has become a thing of the past as the tech giant has made it a tad easier to use a PC keyboard with an iPad. So, if your lonely looking PC keyboard is willing to play nicely with Apple tablet, let me help you set it up!
With iPadOS 13.4, Apple has added a setting to remap modifier keys. Right now, it consists of five important keys such as Caps Lock, Control, Option, Command, and the ever-vexing Globe, which seem to be more than enough to bring a smile on the face of a PC guy. That said, make sure you have attached a hardware keyboard to your iPad (wired or Bluetooth keyboard), else the setting won’t appear.
If you ever wished to reset the modifier keys to the default status for any personal reason, you can do so with ease. To get it done, go to Settings app -> General -> Keyboard -> Hardware Keyboard -> Modifier Keys. Now, tap on Restore Defaults to go back to the default state.
