Magic Keyboard Pages, the space bar will not create a space unless I hit Command/Space Bar everytime I need it. Awkward for writing! Is there another version of Pages, or another word processing app that works better with Magic Keyboard?

Using Magic Keyboard and Pages on iPad Air, the space bar works as a function key rather than creating a space. I can only insert as space by hitting Command/Space Bar, which is awkward to do when writing a lot of text.


Is there a better version of Pages that has corrected this bug? Or is there another word processing app that works seamlessly on the iPad Air and Magic Keyboard?

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

Go to your Accessibility settings and make sure that Full Keyboard Access is turned OFF.
