Use Chrome

Make an iPad webpage easier to read: in Chrome, tap More (three dots) > Zoom text, then adjust the size.

Move around the screen

Swipe up from the bottom to go Home; swipe up, pause, then lift your finger to see open apps (Exposé). Swipe down from the top-right corner for Control Center, including brightness and volume.

Use the Logitech iPad keyboard case

The Rugged Combo 4 Touch has a trackpad and a row of shortcut keys. Use Home, brightness, search, screenshot, volume, and screen lock without opening menus.

Use Command + C to copy and Command + V to paste. Slide two fingers on the trackpad to scroll. The keyboard uses the iPad Smart Connector, so it needs no Bluetooth pairing or separate charging.
