Most of this info is available in various places and guides, but here's a nice little video about the full capabilities of the iPad's keyboard...

Some of these I really cool ! I've been trying to use them for a long time and only figured out now the reason why I couldn't use some of the shortcuts .... It's because I use a French keyboard The shortcuts are not the same !!!!

Excellent video - full of very helpful insights and tips — thanks!

Does anyone also know if there's any way to creat user-defined keyboard shortcuts? I write in the IT field and that could save me a lot of time

I was going to say that one more viewer thinks this is an awesome video, but I can't. I sent the link to my wife, and she thought it was awesome too, so I'll have to say that TWO iPad2 users thought this was awesome. Thank you!

It only appears when your likely to need it, ie when entering a web address in safari. Try it now if you want.

This answered several questions I've had, but there are still a few things I can't seem to figure out. One is the back delete feature. How do you delete a character to the right of the cursor? Another is a lack of cursor movement keys. There have been cases where I simply couldn't figure out how to get the cursor to a spot I needed it to get to and where a simple set of arrows would have been very handy. Perhaps the only way to do this is to connect to a hardware keyboard.
