The iPad allows the use of a few gestures that are not well documented—and/or may have been forgotten over time. These gestures may add some valuable productivity features and make certain tasks easier.
Spacebar/Keyboard as Trackpad
Tap and hold on the space bar for about a second and the entire keyboard becomes a trackpad. Move the cursor to easily select text.
Add a Finger in “Trackpad Mode” to Select Text
While moving the cursor in “trackpad mode” described above, add a second finger, and drag to select text.
3-Finger-Backward Swipe Undo
While typing (or drawing) on the iPad, use three fingers to swipe backward to Undo. (Three-finger-forward-swipe will Redo.)
3-Finger-Tap-and-Hold for Menu
Use three fingers to tap and hold for about one second to get the “Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Redo” menu to appear.
