📱 iOS 15 Split View, Slide over have keyboard shortcuts now
I’ve wanted these for
years and they’re finally here: keyboard shortcuts for managing apps in Split View and Slide Over. There’s a
list of new shortcuts in iPadOS 15 at iMore, but here are a few I want to highlight. Yes, these use the Globe language/emoji key:
Split View
These shortcuts finally solve the problem of bringing new apps into Split View that are not in the Dock. They also behave differently depending on whether the current app is full screen or already in Split View:
-
Tile Window Left: Control + Globe + Left Arrow
-
Tile Window Right: Control + Globe + Right Arrow
If the current app is full screen, it will move to the far left or right, making way for you to find another app, tap it, and bring it into Split View. If you’re already in Split View, these shortcuts will switch the two current apps between sides. It’s glorious.
Slide Over
These should help seal the deal on Slide Over’s usefulness:
-
Show Slide Over: Globe + Backslash </li>
-
Move to Left Slide Over: Option + Globe + Left Arrow
-
Move to Right Slide Over: Option + Globe + Right Arrow
