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/

  1. Open the Settings app on your device with iOS or iPadOS 13.4 or later.

  2. Choose General from the main list.

  3. Tap Keyboard.

  4. Choose the option Hardware Keyboard.

If you don’t see the option: Verify that your external keyboard is indeed connected to your iPad.

  1. Now tap Modifier Keys.

  2. 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).
