There are some very good keyboards and keyboard cases for the iPad and you can even use an Apple Wireless Keyboard (or any wireless keyboard for that matter) with an iPad for writing longer documents. What's not so well advertised, however, is that there are a number of useful keyboard shortcuts you can use to get the most from your experience. Here are some of the most useful.
iPad keyboard shortcuts in Safari:
Command L selects the address bar so you enter a web address or search
Command W closes the tab you're looking at
Command T opens a new tab
Command R to refresh the current tab
Command W to close the current tab
Basic text editing shortcuts:
Command C copies text
Command X to cut text
Command V to paste text
Command Z to undo changes
Command Shift Z to redo them
Option Delete will delete the word before the cursor
Ctrl K deletes the text to the end of the line
Command Delete deletes the text to the beginning to the line
Shift and any arrow key to select text
iPad navigation shortcuts:
These aren't available by default, but can be by enabling the Voice Over accessibility feature. To do so, go to Settings > General > Accessibility and then turn it on. Some dedicated iPad keyboards have these shortcuts as dedicated buttons, such as to go back home.
Ctrl Option H is like pressing the home button
Ctrl Option H H opens the multitasking window
Esc acts as a back button
Option and any arrow key lets you scroll
Command Shift Tab switches you to the previous app
Command Tab takes you back again
