Keyboard shortcuts
You're a few hundred pages into a book, keyboard attached, and reaching up to tap the screen every time you turn a page starts to feel like rolling down a car window by hand. You don't have to. ScrollWizard speaks fluent keyboard.
These shortcuts are built in and ready to go on iPad with a Magic Keyboard (or any Bluetooth/USB keyboard) and on Mac. One honest note up front: they only do anything when a hardware keyboard is attached. On a touch-only iPhone, there's nothing here for you — which is fine, that's what the on-screen controls are for.
Reader
These work any time you're reading a book. Most are plain single keys — no modifier required — so they're quick to reach for.
