It seems the new 2020 keyboards still don‘t come with volume keys?

And while not super necessary an Escape (or Home) key would still be nice.

Bummer.

One of the reasons why I like my Logitech Slim Folio Pro so much - function keys, including audio/visual controls, home screen, and screen off.

I've gotten so used to Command+H for home that even if there was a home button, I'd probably forget about it. On the other hand, I've reprogrammed Caps Lock to be Esc and it's been a nice change for a few things.

Another idea I've seen has been to swap the Globe key to Caps Lock (then it works on both the Smart Keyboards and any random Bluetooth keyboards you paid) and put Esc on the Globe key, as that is specific to Smart Keyboards.
 
I set globe key to Esc
Use Control-spacebar to access emoji keyboard
Cmd-control-Q to sleep

Physical volume buttons are there on the iPad itself. but yeah it would be nice if we can assign keyboard shortcut for it
