There are lots of Bluetooth keyboard for tablets. I bought this one because it had a slot to put your phone or iPad, and a dial to control three different devices.

Keyboard Shortcuts:

I am not sure when they fixed it, but Safari in IOS 11 has most of the keyboard shortcuts I have been wanting that work on a computer.

Entering in text fields
The most obvious is when you are entering a form on a webpage, you can tab between fields, Shift-Tab will back up a field. When you get to the State field, hitting ‘T” twice will select Texas! No more scrolling down to the bottom of the list to find it.

Also Arrows will scroll up and down one line at a time, Function or Option down or up will scroll page at a time. Command Up or Down will scroll to the top or bottom of the entire document.

Holding down the shift key will let you select text, and you can hit control, option or command to line or word at a time.

Command H will take you to the home screen.
If you hold down Command for a while, all the choices will come up.

Several pages to walk you through these shortcuts:

Settings to change on your iPhone X

When I upgraded, it turned off WIFI calling, I had to turn it back on.  Also, if you use Face ID, it is really touchy. It works a little better if you run off Require Attention. Your Call Blocking app is most likely disabled as well. You may consider turning off the new file formats in the Camera settings.
