Yes, surprised the hell out of me, but it works, like it should. At least, I wasn’t very impressed with iCloud till I started beta testing Ulysses for iPad. Very useful, and it works in all your text editors on the Mac. On the Mac version, ⌃E gets you to the end of the paragraph you are on, and ⌃A gets you to the start of the paragraph you are on. I find myself using the ⌃E command a lot. For instance, ⌃E gets you to the end of the line, and ⌃A gets you to the start of the line that your cursor is on. Also, there are keyboard commands which do not have any equivalents in the onscreen keyboard or the keyboard bar. The keyboard bar provided by Ulysses for the iPad is useful but I find keyboard commands more efficient. In addition, it lets you use keyboard commands. Makes writing on the iPad a much more elegant experience. You do have similar benefits from any bluetooth enabled keyboard you want to use. They work very well and they are well made keyboards which feel good to use. All three of these keyboards are multi-device keyboards, in that you can use them with your computer, your iPad and your iPhone.

I have used the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 for Mac/iPad/iPhone, the Logitech Bluetooth Multi-Device Keyboard K480 for Computers, Tablets and Smartphones, Black and the Logitech Bluetooth Easy-Switch K811 Keyboard for Mac, iPad, iPhone - Silver/Black. Makes the process of entering text much more comfortable than the onscreen keyboard.

They connect to the iPad through Bluetooth, and they provide you with a full size real keyboard.

You can get one of a whole slew of external keyboards for the iPad. If I am in the middle of serious writing, the external keyboard is something that I rely on. I can use it in a pinch, but most of the time I like having an external keyboard attached to the iPad. You can use Ulysses on the iPad by typing on the onscreen keyboard. The developers have replicated most of the functionality of the Mac version in the iPad version and the experience is almost seamless. If you are familiar with the Mac version of this application, you are going to be very comfortable with the iPad version. So, I have been pining for Ulysses for iPad. It is in my mind, the best text editor on the iPad, but it is not Ulysses. So, I want the experience replicated on the iPad.

It is the best designed piece of writing software that I have seen. It is a product which encourages you to write and lets your writing live and grow in it. Why? Because Ulysses provides a complete environment for your writing. That has been my ideal of the perfect writing app for the iPad. The same experience and environment provided by the Mac app on the iPad.
