Hello all. I’m sure many of you know that Apple released a new keyboard case for the iPad Air Four and the iPad Pro third and fourth generations. I recently bought it about a month ago and i have had some issues with it when using VoiceOver. First, whenever i try using the shift, control, and other keys on the keyboard, it sends me to the status bar and i have to use the screen to get me out of it. If I try and use the control option and command keys + the right and left arrow keys to ove the Roder, it again sends the VoiceOver cursor to the status bar. When I try pressing commands like VO H to go home, or even navigate the Home Screen using VO right and left arrows, it does the exact same thing. Is this an issue anyone else is having with this keyboard? Does anyone have any suggestions to help out? I have tried to turn off the VoiceOver shortcut, turning off and on VoiceOver, and turning the VoiceOver shortcut back on, and it works, but only for about half an hour and then it goes back to doing what i have described here. I would really appreciate any help and suggestions you can give me. Thank you so much.

full keyboard access
It is known to make voiceover act weird. Check if it's turned on and turn it off.

Hi, there is a fix for this. Go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver, then scroll to the very bottom of the page.
Under the Pointer Control heading, change the selection from “Moves VoiceOver Cursor” to “Ignores VoiceOver Cursor”.
HTH, Dave
Thanks for helping out
I've been having the same issue with my iPad Pro and the keyboard case. This helped out. Thank you
