  • Thread-topic: Deficiencies in UIKeyCommand

UIKeyCommand is a welcomed addition to iOS when using an external keyboard.
However, there seems to be a few deficiencies in its functionality:

1.  F-keys.  Is there any way to snag an F-key command with UIKeyCommand?
You have to specify a string. Is there a way to do this?

2.  Repeat keys.  Some work, some don¹t.  UITextView will respond to
character key repeats, and to left/right arrows to move the insert along a
line.  But is doesn¹t support up/down arrow keys. (Pages does this just
fine.)  So we subclassed UITextView and added key commands and our own code
to allow the insert to move up/down from the current line, keeping as close
to the original insert horizontal offset as possible.  However, it¹s a
one-shot operation, no key repeats.  Is there any way to fix this?

I don¹t know whether to file a bug report or an enhancement request for
these.
