anything about keyboards?

Yes, there were several mentions of keyboards in the WWDC sessions. Here are some highlights:

1. Multilingual Keyboard:

   • In the session Build multilingual-ready apps, Apple introduced a new multilingual keyboard that allows users to type in more than one language without needing to manually switch languages. This feature is particularly useful for users who speak multiple languages, such as Korean and English.

2. Hardware Keyboard Support:

   • The same session also discussed how to handle cases when a hardware keyboard is used for typing. For instance, using the inputAccessoryView to dock views above the keyboard or using the keyboard layout guide to customize the placement of views in relation to the keyboard. This is especially useful for languages like Chinese or Japanese that use marked text (Build multilingual-ready apps).

3. Redesigned Function Row for Arabic:

   • The new Magic Keyboard for the M4 iPad Pro features a redesigned function row for Arabic, where the volume and brightness keys are mirrored exactly between hardware and software (Build multilingual-ready apps).

4. Keyboard Support in Games:

   • In the session Design advanced games for Apple platforms, it was mentioned that when implementing keyboard support for games, developers should consider that the modifier keys on Apple keyboards are arranged differently than on typical PC keyboards. This requires validation to ensure comfortable control mappings.
   • The session Explore game input in visionOS also highlighted that VisionOS supports Bluetooth keyboards and trackpads, making it simple to respond to game input from these devices.

5. Input and Rumble in Games:

   • The session Port advanced games to Apple platforms discussed how games on Apple devices can sense and respond to player actions from game controllers, mice, and keyboards. The game controller framework is recommended for handling player input across all devices.

Relevant Sessions:

• Build multilingual-ready apps
• Design advanced games for Apple platforms
• Explore game input in visionOS
• Port advanced games to Apple platforms

These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of the new keyboard features and support across different Apple platforms.
