How to change the keymap of a Bluetooth keyboard of iPad?
Solution 1:
This is not currently possible
Solution 2:
It works in 2020 With iOS and iPadOS 13.4+ you can modify the four modifier keys:
- Caps Lock (⇪)
- Control (⌃)
- Option (⌥)
- Command (⌘)
You can choose from: Caps Lock, Ctrl, Option, Command, Escape, and Globe.
I have no BT Keyboard, but the settings are there. The source I found this: https://www.idownloadblog.com/2020/03/05/ipad-keyboard-modifier-keys-tutorial/
-
Open the Settings app on your device with iOS or iPadOS 13.4 or later.
-
Choose General from the main list.
-
Tap Keyboard.
-
Choose the option Hardware Keyboard.
If you don’t see the option: Verify that your external keyboard is indeed connected to your iPad.
-
Now tap Modifier Keys.
-
Choose any listed modifier key to change its behavior.

Solution 3:
I am also missing this functionality. I mainly use a HHKB Pro 2 keyboard, and I remap my other keyboards to a similar layout (Ctrl where Caps Lock usually is, and backspace right above Enter).
Some applications may allow simply key-mapping functionality, e.g., Blink Shell (specifically, it is possible swap Ctrl and Caps Lock on a keyboard with a regular layout).
