Modifier keys not working

Hello,

I have an iPad Pro 11-inch 2022 with a Magic Keyboard.

I am trying to change the globe key to be ‘esc’ (escape) using the modifier keys menu (General/Keyboards/Hardware Keyboards/Modifier Keys). However, I am not having any luck. Could one ‘GENIUS’ out there please help me? Many thanks. T

Some third party keyboards have a special key to return an iPad back to the Home screen.

However, I believe, with the Apple Magic keyboard, there is no way to do this using the keyboard.


I thought with the Magic Keyboard, the trackpad can do swiping gestures on the trackpad that simulate doing certain actual swiping gestures on the iPad's screen?


Am I wrong about that?


No. I am not.
