Hi! I am using a bluetooth keyboard for my Ipad. I have two keyboards and the same thing happens on both. Often when I press VO+Space I often get a double tap and hold instead of a double tap. Is there a setting somewhere where I can fix this because it is messing up a lot for me. Both my keyboards are different brands so I don’t think it is the keyboard.

It is the focus issue I think!
I have been facing similar issues with my keyboard. I have IPAD pro M4 and Apple’s Magic Keyboard and a trashy Bluetooth keyboard of my office. I think VO jumps focus while typing on the keyboard with IPad. This has been an issue since the first IPad Pro 9 inches which I got in 2017. Despite repeated feedback to apple and the accessibility team about it, nothing has been done about it till date! I am hoping the IPad OS 19 (which is supposedly will give us desk mode) will fix it. Fingers crossed! The workaround I found was to pair and re-pair the keyboard. I’d appreciate it if more users comment here and tell us whether they’ve been facing similar issues and possible work-around for it.
Thank you and have a great day ahead!
I don't have this problem
Hello. I have an iPad 9th generation, 2021, and I don't have this problem. When I press VO+Space, VoiceOver press twice the item. In addition, when I press Up Arrow + Down Arrow when I use the quick navigation, VoiceOver press twice the item.
Keyboard
Simple external keyboards do not work well with iPad. Unless Apple fix it. iPad 9 and slim folio. I use it to type long messages when iPhone is not good for it. The commands do not work well. Only command or the little apple key and h works to go home. Lucky folio has hot keys.
Use the Arrows
You can use the up and down arrows instead of VO+Space bar
No issues here
I have a generic keyboard and it works really well! No issues li
Unable to reproduce
I'm not able to reproduce, however, I have to point out that I'm not using a Bluetooth keyboard. I use the Magic Keyboard for the 11-inch iPad Pro M4 and everything works fine.
