And, best of all, you can add your own custom shortcuts directly to this menu. You can add up to eight different icons to the top level menu or scale it down to just one. Siri: immediately initiates a Siri command.Screenshot: takes a screenshot of everything you see on-screen however, iPadOS smartly removes the top level accessibility menu before snapping the screenshot.Control Center: immediately brings Control Center into view from the top right corner.Device: device controls, like screen lock and rotation, and volume controls.Multitasking: provides the ability to directly move apps from your dock into Slide Over or Split View.Gestures: provides the ability to swipe with 2, 3, 4, or 5 finger gestures.I’m still in the early playground days of customizing my own top level menu, but I currently have the following actions mapped to my top level menu: Hover over the action, left-click (tap) and done. A simple click of the button brings up an accessibility menu that has six default actions.

I currently have this top level menu mapped to my right-click mouse button. With just two mouse clicks, you can access direct multitasking support, Control Center, device controls, and even your own custom shortcuts. There is an inordinate amount of power hiding beneath the top level menu in iPadOS’s mouse support.

Hopefully this is fixed in an upcoming beta. Unfortunately, iPadOS doesn’t seem to recognize the pad button press on the MX Master - this would be an ideal App Switcher or home button.

Setting Up a Bluetooth MouseĪpple has hidden mouse support away in the Accessibility category of Settings. The cursor is (currently) a large circular pointer rather than the ubiquitous arrow pointer, right and left clicks work fundamentally differently on iPadOS than standard desktop operating systems, and how the current iteration of mouse support interacts both individually and alongside finger-touch support (and other Bluetooth devices, like the Apple Pencil, for that matter) is different as well.īut even just after a few days of fooling around with a mouse in the current iPadOS public beta, I think a ton of people are going to find mouse support functional, enjoyable, and - dare I say - even more powerful than anything they’ve seen on macOS.

Mouse support in iPadOS acts slightly different than how I envisioned it, but I hadn’t really fleshed out any thoughts prior to trying it.
