1Keyboard: wireless Bluetooth-keyboard for your iOS-devices from... Mac keyboard

In 2007, with the advent of the era of iPhone touch keyboard, and since then the world has changed. We are accustomed to, and appreciated the convenience of such input keyboards. Nevertheless, accessory manufacturers are constantly trying to transplant us into physical keyboard - in the form of covers, pads or individual devices and it had some success among users who needed to gain a lot text. iPhone touch keyboard is also found use - using a variety of tools, we were invited to use it as a wireless keyboard for Mac and PC.

1Keyboard application works on the reverse principle - using the Mac, we can print on iOS-devices ie the Mac keyboard is wireless of Bluetooth-keyboard, which can be connected to the iPhone or iPad. Not exactly the traditional approach, but nevertheless it is.

Honestly, I do not know in which cases can be useful, this "keyboard", but developers know better. 1Keyboard binds iOS-Bluetooth devices by management protocol and intercepts by pressing a hot key.

Immediately after installation prescribed 1Keyboard icon in the menu bar, from which you can access the basic settings and functions of the application. Clicking on the icon will display all available devices: iPhone, iPad, and even AppleTV (here can be in ATV this "approach" would be appropriate). To operate the Mac in conjunction with the iPad or iPhone, you need to enable Bluetooth on both devices, and create a "couple." Also, for convenience, it is recommended to create a hot key by pressing that will catch keyboard input.

With the active input mode in iOS-device on the Mac screen will display an icon iPhone (or iPad) with the name of your device. Switching the layout works "grown-up" as well as on the computer. Furthermore, it is possible to work with a clipboard, with hotkeys ⌘C/⌘V. It's a shame that you can not call the symbol table to introduce some of them. But this disadvantage is balanced by the advantage - using the keyboard iOS-player can be controlled (although you need to use a combination of Fn + F7... F9).

Switch from input device to iOS-Mac by pressing keys ⎋(Esc) or ⌘⇥. In fact the app is free, but there is the number of characters to the restriction and the ability to add only one device. To view more than enough, but if you decide that you need the application - for the remover mentioned restrictions will have to pay $ 7.

$ 7 is of course quite a bit and certainly less than the cost of a wireless keyboard. But another question - if the hand has a Mac, why would you use for a set of iOS-device copy? I try as he might, he was unable to answer it. Perhaps you know?
