Does anyone have the Avidyne bluetooth keyboard working with the 10.2.3 iPad simulator?

It seems to be connected, but when I press keys on the keyboard I get random results...for example direct-to does a volume-up command on the iPad.

Following up...some of the keys work, but it seems like the ones in the top row don’t (like the direct-to button, for example). Weird how it adjusts the iPad volume instead of simulating the direct-to function).

I haven't tried it but I'm not sure it was ever intended to be used with the trainer.

The keypresses from the bluetooth keyboard get intercepted by iOS before they get to the trainer app.  As you noticed, some keys get sent to us as we expect (e.g. letters, numbers) but others don't.  You just have to keep those limitations in mind when using the BT keyboard and the app.

Not related to kbd, Steve, but I think speaking for most if not all on this board, your efforts to keep communications and information flowing is very much appreciated.  Thanks!
