iPad habit creeping in to MacBook

Apple's mobile devices

No matter how hard you expect it to happen, those keys on that MacBook’s keyboard won’t ever flip and reveal additional characters. Oh, and there’s no .?123 key on the MacBook to tap and flip the keyboard. Maybe in the future when Apple introduces context aware touch-enabled keyboard for its Macs as per their patent, but not now, not yet, and definitely not on this MacBook you’re typing on.

This is something I have to remind myself almost daily since May. The time spent typing on the iPad has definitely taken over my muscle memory on using the MacBook and its traditional (I’m trying to avoid describing it as quaint) keyboard.

Speaking of additional characters, I wish Apple would incorporate special characters and symbols into the iOS keyboards. All they have to do is make it an additional keyboard option that can be activated by tapping the globe icon.

More than a year ago I got so used to double tapping the space bar to end a sentence when typing on the iPhone, I started doing it on the MacBook.
