How To Swipe Text on the iPad with the Floating Keyboard

The iPad Swipe Keyboard, often called Swipe Text, Swype Keyboard, Slide to Type, or sometimes QuickPath, is available on iPadOS 13 or later. However, to use the swipe typing feature, you’ll need to switch from the regular on-screen keyboard to the smaller floating keyboard. For more iPad tips, don't forget to check out our free Tip of the Day. Open any app that requires typing. For this example, I'll open the Notes app.

Open a note or create a new note.

Tap anywhere in the note to begin typing. The keyboard will fill the bottom of your screen. Tap and hold the keyboard icon in the bottom right corner of the keyboard. A menu will pop up. Unlike many menus in iPadOS, this menu requires that you keep holding your finger on the screen and drag your finger to the menu option you want. Select Floating from the keyboard menu. The keyboard will disappear, to be replaced with the floating keyboard. You can move the floating keyboard around the screen by touching and dragging the grab bar at the bottom. You can compose text with QuickPath, AKA Slide to Type, by touching the first letter of a word, and then dragging your finger to the rest of the letters in turn.

You can also tap the 123 key for punctuation marks and numbers.

You can tap the #+= key for symbols (such as % and *). To switch back to the regular keyboard, grab the bar at the bottom of the floating keyboard and drag it to the center-bottom of your screen.

What do 4 lights on keyboard mean?

Keyboard LEDs

Four LEDs on the Sun Type-5 keyboard are used to indicate the progress and results of POST diagnostics. These LEDs are on the Caps Lock, Compose, Scroll Lock, and Num Lock keys, as shown below.

Figure 12-5

To indicate the beginning of POST diagnostics, the four LEDs briefly light all at once. The monitor screen remains blank, and the Caps Lock LED blinks for the duration of the testing. If the system passes all POST diagnostic tests, all four LEDs light again and then go off. Once the system banner appears on the monitor screen, the keyboard LEDs assume their normal functions and should no longer be interpreted as diagnostic error indicators. If the system fails any test, one or more LEDs will light to form an error code that indicates the nature of the problem. The LED error code may be lit continuously, or for just a few seconds, so it is important to observe the LEDs closely while POST is running.

The following table provides error code definitions.

Table 12-5

The Caps Lock LED blinks on and off to indicate that the POST diagnostics are running. When it lights steadily, it indicates an error.
