Its helpful when inputting passwords or typing quickly but if youd rather switch it

Turn off lowercase keyboard characters

The standard iPad keyboard displays lowercase keys, and only swaps to displaying capital letters when the shift key is pressed. If you prefer the traditional setting of always showing capital letters for keys, then open the Settings app and go to General > Accessibility > Keyboard, then turn off Show Lowercase Keys.

Turn off the character preview when typing

Every time you tap on a letter while typing youll see a brief pop-up that displays the letter in capitals. Its helpful when inputting passwords or typing quickly, but if youd rather switch it off then open the Settings app and go toGeneral > Keyboard and toggle off Character Preview.

Use Multi-Touch to turn the keyboard into a trackpad

To easily select text using iPad place two fingers on the keyboard while youre writing a note, message, email or document, and youll notice that the keys fade away and the keyboard turns into a giant trackpad. You can now slide your fingers around to move a text cursor around the screen, making it easy to select a specific word or letter.

You can also double-tap with two fingers (while leaving both fingers on the screen during the second tap) to select a word. By dragging your fingers across the trackpad you can quickly and easily select multiple words and sentences.
