Escape key on the sketchup for ipad

That’s true. And that’s where having a second gen Apple Pencil is advantageous. With things set up in preferences so that the pencil double tap gesture is mapped to Escape, you can use that to do all the things that the Escape key can do on desktop, incl exiting groups/components.

I have the second gen pencil and really hate the double tap on it. It’s so prone to mistakes, it triggers when I do all sort of things. (Samsung stylus are the best I tried yet, with their button).

I tested it, and it looks like we do use the Command-. way to emulate Escape. You will want to press those quickly, because holding down Command for more than a moment or two will bring up the shortcuts guide overlay.

Thanks Colin I found a way to modify the Globe key to be the escape key in the iPad settings and it works.
