Does Astropad Studio support different keyboard languages and layouts?

Studio's on-screen keyboard support depends on your setup. Find out more here!

Updated this week

✅ Mac Primary → iPad

This setup offers full support for international layouts. Studio's on-screen keyboard automatically matches your Mac's keyboard layout:

  • German (QWERTZ) with umlauts (ä, ü, ö)

  • French (AZERTY)

  • Any other layout configured on your Mac

💡 To change your keyboard language: Go to System Settings > Keyboard > Input Sources on your Mac

⚠️Windows Primary → iPad

This setup has limited support for non-English layouts. Windows currently has limitations with international keyboard layouts on Studio's on-screen keyboard.

Workaround:

  • Use a physical keyboard connected to your iPad or Windows PC instead of the on-screen keyboard

  • Use a Physical Keyboard with iPad

    • FYI: Physical keyboards connected to your iPad may follow iPadOS keyboard settings, not your primary device's layout.

💡 To change your iPad's keyboard: Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards on iPad
