Are there and commands that allow they arrows to be uses or commands for moving left and right such as using arrows? They’re ighly used in the safari with the “math class” and it’s REALLY annoying having to use my finger to slide my cursor left and right on every problem.
 
I’m not totally sure what you’re asking, but the arrow keys are typically used for moving around in a single text field. To jump from one field to another you can use tab (and shift-tab) to move backwards. Perhaps that will do what you want?

Thanks, it must just be the software embedded in safari that the math program utilizes. On a computer I can arrow left or right between numbers when I have a formula written in the answer box, but with the iPad and keyboard, the arrows don’t respond, although they respond in instances like typing a replay in the forums haha.
