As on Apple’s Smart Keyboards, the iPad Magic Keyboard has no Escape key. If you miss the Escape key, there are a couple workarounds. First, in most situations, ⌘-period works as a synonym for Escape. This is a standard Mac shortcut that dates back to classic Mac OS decades ago. (In my opinion, any context where ⌘-period doesn’t work as a synonym for the Escape key ought to be considered a bug.) The other option is to go to Settings → General → Keyboard → Hardware Keyboard, and remap one of the modifier keys to Escape. I suggest either Caps Lock or the Globe key. If you do remap Globe to Escape (which I did), you can still bring up the Emoji keyboard with the system-wide Control-Space shortcut

Und schon wieder was gelernt.

Auch er reitet, wie fast alle anderen auf dem Gewicht des Magic Keyboard rum – ich glaube, ich muss auch mal was dazu schreiben. In Summe aber sehr gut geschrieben … muss er auch, wenn er keine Bilder in seinen Posts zeigen möchte.

Ever since the Files app was introduced, it was obvious it would be absolutely perfect for Pixelmator and we’ve been waiting for the right moment to replace our gallery with it. As we start working to refresh and update Pixelmator for iOS, this always had to be the they key first step in that process. And while it may seem relatively simple, this update actually took us around 6 months to design, develop, and test — a lot of work!

Lustig, wie nun die App Entwickler anfangen einen Finder in ihre Apps zu integrieren. Vielleicht war der auf dem Macintosh gar keine so schlechte Idee.

What’s even nicer about this opening procedure is how the iPad’s software knows when to turn on the display and activate Face ID. If you pay attention when lifting the iPad, you’ll notice that the display turns on as soon as the iPad is detached from one half of the Magic Keyboard’s back cover; a few moments later, the Face ID sensor is activated and starts scanning. In practice, this isn’t just a delightful detail that proves Apple’s proverbial integration of hardware and software – it also means that by the time you’re done adjusting the iPad’s viewing angle, the iPad will have already authenticated you. At that point, it’s just a matter of pressing the space bar to dismiss the Lock screen and start working.

Hervorhebung ist meine – wieder habe ich was gelernt. Ich habe den Cursor mit dem Trackpad des Magic Keyboards immer mühsam auf den Swipe-up Indicator navigiert und dann geklickt. Der Space Bar ist natürlich viel einfacher und schneller zum Unlocken.

Ach ja, ansonsten ist Federicos Posting absolut klasse. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich ein Folge-Post lesen wird, wenn er das Magic Keyboard länger als 24 Stunden benutzt hat.

BREAKING: On May 27, @NASA will once again launch American astronauts on American rockets from American soil! With our @SpaceX partners, @Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken will launch to the @Space_Station on the #CrewDragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket.

Popcorn machen und Daumen drücken, dass es beim ersten Versuch klappt.

The feature works by analyzing the temperature of the battery over time, as well as the charging pattern the laptop has experienced—in other words, does the laptop frequently get drained most of the way and then recharged fully, or is it mostly kept full and plugged in?

Klingt wie für mich, als Notebook-als-Desktop-Nutzer, gemacht. Und erinnert ein bisschen an das Batteriemanagement bei Tesla.
