Where’s the escape key on my iPhone?

I think I finally understand Kafkaesque.

There is no escape.

Try:

Ctrl and [

That should send the same as Esc (ASCII 27).

I seem to remember this working on a new iPad Pro keyboard.

This is incredible. I think I needed this about 40 years when typing on a small Teletype (non-ASR33) without an escape key.

Standard adaptation for touchbar Macs, too. I find it less of a disruption from the home row.

Something else to try is Ctrl-3. This commonly gives the ESC code.

You can also ctrl-c

Where's the escape key on my Macbook Pro?

[vorpalhex]

Same place as before, it's just no longer as squishy

I missed the lowercase i on first read. I'll comment anyway in case this helps others. Hacker's Keyboard from f-droid has an escape key. If using the compact layout you can get to it by holding the tab key. I think on the full layout it has a more traditional placement. I'm not sure what alternative keyboards iOS has.

Android at least lets you install custom keyboards - and there are hacker keyboards that have escape on ...

Very useful for SSH and termux.

iOS has the same feature: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

There's none, use Ctrl-[, duh.
