Note taking on ipad

Question

Can I use external keyboard in One Note when taking notes rather than on screen keyboard?

Answer 1

Thanks. I found an old thread that worked. Turning off full keyboard mode worked.

Answer 2

Joseph Lamendola, sorry for the inconvenience, there are several posts in the Community where other ipad users also experienced similar issues using external keyboard with OneNote.

I will suggest you send a feedback to Microsoft developers: https://www.onenote.com/feedback

Answer 3

For some reason, when I hit the space bar, it puts it into search mode

Answer 4

Thank you Raymond. I was doing that successfully and suddenly it would not allow me to space and then it was jumping all over the page. Not sure why, but I’ll try again.

Answer 5

Hello Joseph Lamendola,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I am a Microsoft user just like you, I hope you are doing well?

Yes, you can. Once you have connected the external keyboard to your ipad, you can use it in taking notes on OneNote.

Please let me know if you need more assistance.
