Perhaps the following will help. From the ios 11 users guide.
Use these commands (with Quick Nav turned off) to work with text. VoiceOver
reads the text as you move the insertion point.
Go forward or back one character:
Right Arrow or Left Arrow
Go forward or back one word:
Option–Right Arrow or Option–Left Arrow
Go up or down one line:
Up Arrow or Down Arrow
Go to the beginning or end of the line:
Command–Left Arrow or Command–Down Arrow
Go to the beginning or end of the paragraph:
Option–Up Arrow or Option–Down Arrow
Go to the previous or next paragraph:
Option–Up Arrow or Option–Down Arrow
Go to the top or bottom of the text field:
Command–Up Arrow or Command–Down Arrow
Select text as you move:
Shift + any of the insertion point movement commands above
Select all text:
Command–A
Copy, cut, or paste the selected text:
Command–C, Command–X, or Command–V
Undo or redo last change:
Command–Z or Shift–Command–Z

There are commands for moving to the beginning or the end of a document, but
you can't select text the way you do in Windows. I am not aS Pprofficient
with bluetooth keyboard commands since all I use them for is typing long
text, but as far as I know you still have to change the rotor to words if,
for example, you want to go back a few words etc. I think you also need to
use the rotor and the text selection set to characters, words or lines to
select text, you can't just arrow up a few lines, press home to go to the
beginning of a line and then hold down control+shift and arrow right to
select a bunch of words, then use Control+c or Control+X to copy or move
them etc. These are exactly the things people talk about when the topic of
efficient word processing comes up. Sighted people have it a bit easier as
they can pinch and stuff like that and see as they are doing it what is
being selected and so on.`~~~`

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible with the bt keyboard and
pages or word for ios to use shift+up or down arrow to select text (i know
you can copy and paste with command+v and command+c).
And if its possible to move to the beginning and the end of a document with
command+up/command+down arrow?
Thanks in advance for any info,
Greetings, Anouk,

I am one person who basically uses ios only. I have a bluetooth keyboard
for when I have to do a good bit of typing. i really think it depends on
the individual and what y need to do. I have a windows computer, but very
seldom turn it on. Again I say, there is no correct answer. It just
depends on what you want to do.
My husband is sighted and still uses his computer all of the time. He
likes it better and he prefers the bigger screen.

Hi everyone, My mac is getting rather old and I notice that I use it less
and less. I have been thinking about just sticking with ios and not
getting a laptop at all anymore but that is a big step. I have had
laptops since 1998 but Iuse mine so seldomly that would be a bit of a
waste of money. Still its a big jump, are there people who have done this
already and what are your experiences?
Can office on ios be used?
Greetings, Anouk,
