On that specific keyboard, do you know of an equivalent keyboard command which simulates the Escape key?
If not too much trouble, what are the dimensions of your keyboard? I'm considering a small keyboard which I can carry with me. The Amazon basics is actually kinda small itself, about 4" X 10" X .8", but I'm looking to find something smaller. <Smile>. I will say that I do like that when my iDevice turns off automatically, I need only press a key on the keyboard, and I'm placed on my home screen without having to go through the lock screen.

It doesn't seem to have a true escape key. It acts as the home key. When I press it during the process you outline below, it immediately exits edit mode and maintains my position in the folder, effectively cancelling my move process. It may work with other keyboards, however.
