You don’t have to be a tech genius to create and map advanced functions for your smartphone or smart home to your new Clicks Power Keyboard.First, that physical keyboard gives you the accuracy and confidence that only comes from physical keys. Second, you’re opening up a whole bunch of screen real-estate. But the next big “WOW!” moment comes when you create your first custom shortcut and map it to your Clicks Power Keyboard.
Built-In Shortcuts
Right out of the box, your Clicks Power Keyboard is ready to work with existing iOS shortcuts. Most people don’t even know these are available, but now you’ll be able to master them instantly:| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Search (Spotlight) | Command + Space |
| Go to Home Screen | Command + H |
| Switch Apps | Command + Tab |
| Copy Text | Command + C |
| Paste Text | Command + V |
| Cut Text | Command + X |
| Undo Action | Command + Z |
| Select All | Command + A |
| Scroll Down (Web/Lists) | Space |
Phase 1: Create Your Action in the Shortcuts App
Before mapping a key, you must have an active shortcut to trigger. Note from this point on all these instructions are for iPhone specifically. If you don’t have an iPhone check out our Intro To Custom Shortcuts guide for Android Users.Phase 2: Prepare iOS for External Mapping
iOS handles custom external keyboard mapping through Full Keyboard Access, an accessibility feature that treats keyboard inputs as system commands.(Optional but recommended): Under the same menu, tap Appearance and set Auto-Hide to 1 or 2 seconds so the highlight box doesn’t clutter your screen.
Phase 3: Mapping to the Power Keyboard
Now, you will link your physical Clicks keys to the software triggers you created in Phase 1.In the Commands menu (Settings > Accessibility > Keyboards > Full Keyboard Access > Commands), scroll all the way to the bottom.
You will find a section titled Shortcuts. Here, you’ll see a list of every shortcut currently in your Shortcuts app.
When prompted to “Enter a key combination,” press the Clicks Key (the round ‘G’ key) followed by your chosen letter (e.g., Clicks + N).
Inspiration Time: High-Value Workflow Examples
The possibilities you can unlock with custom iOS shortcuts and the Clicks Power keyboard are endless. Here’s just a few some of our Power Users have programmed for themselves:| Combination | Action | Why it Works |
|---|---|---|
| Clicks + L | Toggle Smart Lights | Control your environment without leaving your current app. |
| Clicks + S | Shazam | Identify music instantly while on the go. |
| Clicks + D | Directions to Next Event | Pulls turn-by-turn navigation for your next calendar entry. |
| Clicks + B | Check Battery | View the exact charge level of your iPhone and the Power Keyboard’s 2,150 mAh internal cell. |
| Clicks + P | Switch Profile | Instantly switch Bluetooth pairing from your iPhone to an iPad or Apple TV. |
Troubleshooting & Tips
Hopefully all is smooth sailing, but just in case it’s not—here’s a few tips to consider:- Conflict Resolution: If a shortcut isn’t firing, ensure that a standard iOS shortcut (like CMD + N for new message) isn’t taking precedence. FKA commands usually sit at the highest level of priority.
- Backlighting Control: You can adjust the intensity of the keyboard’s backlight through the Clicks App to save battery for your custom triggers.
- Firmware Updates: Always check the Clicks App for firmware updates. New releases often include “Shortcuts Libraries” with pre-built actions you can install with a single tap.
