When using my iPad and Magic Keyboard and typing a search in Safari and other programs the space key is not working to type a sentence or search, the space bar is acting like the tab key? How do I correct this?

Make sure Full Keyboard Access is turned OFF in Accessibility settings.

Ok thanks for the update. Are you using the Bluetooth Magic Keyboard or the Magic keyboard case with smart connector?

• Try seeing if the smart connector on the iPad and the pins on the keyboard are clean. (if using the magic keyboard case)
• Restart your iPad
• See if there is any debris or dust under the keys. If the space bar is acting like the tab key then there could be something under the key making it register more than once.
• Make sure your iPad OS is up to date.
• Try going to settings > general > transfer or reset iPad > reset > reset keyboard dictionary > enter your passcode

Try these steps and see if they resolve the issue.

How did you fix the issue??? Its happening to me and only after the last update! I now tried to edit wording on a facebook comment and I couldn't use the space bar with out it jumping to the start of the comment. It is also making tabs in Safari. I do not see FULL KEYBOARD ACCESS in my settings!!

Hi,

You can try going to the settings app > general > keyboard > hardware keyboard > then choose your language.

Do not choose the (automatic) option beside your language, you must choose that language specifically that does not have (automatic) beside it. This should fix your keyboard. I had a similar issue and this fixed it for me.

That’s strange. Usually these issues are not limited to certain apps, normally they affect every app on the iPad. You can go in the settings app > general > keyboard or settings > accessibility > keyboards and see if any settings can be changed to fix this issue. You can also try restoring your iPad with a Mac or Windows PC or getting a warranty replacement for the magic keyboard if you are still in the warranty period.

Where is this FULL KEYBOARD ACCESS? I do not see it in my settings. I am having a hella trouble with the magic keyboard with it creating tabs and not wanting to make spaces when editing comments on FB

It is under Accessibility as said earlier, NOT General. Turn if OFF if you have updated Facebook to version 346.

Ahhh!! Sorry......I turned that off now. It was affecting my safari searching.

Facebook is v346 (auto update) so I will test it out now that I turned off the keyboard access.
