I am retired teacher and pre Covid we had to learn Google in about 3 weeks. They just dump it on us. The district did purchase a tutorial package, but it was awful. We were You Tubing tutorials just like this. Let me tell you, we spent a year with a huge learning curve, trial and errors, and frustration trying to master something we never used. However, now I feel like I can figure anything out easier than before. Thanks for the great video and keep up the good work!

Thank you for your support!❤️

I have a Magic Keyboard but never knew the globe key did anything. I've been using the keyboard for probably at least 2 years lol. Thank you. You're a gem. I also didn't know there were keyboard shortcuts per app using the cmd key. I think I need to watch more of your videos.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Glad you found the video helpful!! I love my Magic Keyboard.

So glad I stopped by your page and posts Ellen! As a senior too I really enjoyed your post here on the Globe Key. Just purchased the the new iPad Pro 11 inch M4 over the weekend, so I’m anxiously trying to learn everything NEW so this almost 72 year old can keep up with my children and grandchildren! Sharing your page with a few friends today for sure!💯🤩👍🏽

[@tomjpurchase]

So, the Global key is the same as the Open Apple key was on the Apple IIe. Got it.

[@kathleenhickey7793]

Hi! Imagine my surprise when TH-cam suggested your page! Would love to reconnect off of here. BTW, this was very great. I learned several things I didn’t know.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks so much Kathleen!!♥️ we definitely need t reconnect.

[@caronjackson386]

Ellen, thank you so much for explaining so well about the globe key. I’ve never really understood what it was for until now. I use it for emojis only so can now apply shortcuts. Caron in UK x

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful Caron!

[@tomarmstrong1281]

A basic critical mass of knowledge is required before these excellent videos make total sense. Sadly, I am not there, and after four or five clicks on various buttons, I am into 'where the hell am I now territory'.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Sorry Tom! I think if you are using an external keyboard this is a good starting point. Just follow the instructions and you should be good. Thanks for watching.

[@flossyflue4305]

Great thank you. What about on the iMac?

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

You’re welcome Flossy! My videos are focused on the iPhone and iPad. Sorry 😞

[@geminiecricket4798]

flashes of my old Apple computer….stored now in the garage……no thank you……been there and hated it….

[@davidwarren4569]

It’s strange. I have IOS 17.5 and I can’t follow that process in settings to get the globe key.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Hi David are you using an external keyboard??

[@davidwarren4569]

@@EllensTipsForiOS Thanks Ellen. No IAm not using an external keyboard.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

The Globe shortcuts are for external keyboards.

[@nickmorris6247]
