iPad Keyboard Shortcut Reference

If you connect a keyboard to your iPad — either via an iPad keyboard case/cover, or a standard keyboard via Bluetooth or USB — you can use keyboard shortcuts to perform a number of tasks in Cascable. You can find a reference of the available keyboard shortcuts on this page.

Note: Keyboard shortcuts are a relatively new addition to the app. If your workflow would benefit from keyboard shortcut(s) that aren’t listed below, contact us via the “Support” button at the bottom-right of this page and tell us!

This reference uses the standard Apple modifier key symbols for brevity. Depending on your keyboard, they may be labelled differently:

SymbolAlternate Labels
Cmd or Command
Shift
Opt, Option, or Alt
Ctrl or Control

Note: The symbols may not be visible in your web browser if you’re viewing this page on an operating system other than macOS, iOS, or iPadOS. If you don’t see them, try a different web browser or view this page on an Apple device.
