Where is the CTRL key in a tablet?

Asked by flo (13313points) September 28th, 2016

CTRL key, and any other key that you can think of.

The ctrl key is general used for keyboard shortcuts, so you don’t have one a tablet, unless it has a keyboard.

Everything you can do with a ctrl key, you can do in another way without it.

@funkdaddy What is the other way? Let’s say for CTRL F

There’s no universal answer. Every tablet OS is different and most keyboard shortcuts are specific to the program/app you’re running.

I’m guessing you’re trying to “find” in a browser? Most have either:

- a browser bar (where you enter the URL you want to go to) that doubles as a search as well, including finding on the current page you have up in the browser
– a menu of some sort that you can tap to bring up options, including “find”

Does one of those work for you?

On Chrome for tablets, there are 3 vertical dots on the top right. Tap them and a menu comes up. Find in Page is one of the options.

It’s on the USB keyboard I plug into any tablet I’m faced with using for something that would benefit from a keyboard.
