How do I handle keyboard shortcuts and focus on iOS using Swift?

Handling keyboard shortcuts and focus in iOS can enhance the user experience, especially for accessibility and productivity-focused applications. In Swift, you can implement keyboard shortcuts using responder methods and manage focus using the focus environment introduced in iOS 13.

Swift Example for Handling Keyboard Shortcuts

The following example demonstrates how to handle keyboard shortcuts in a SwiftUI application:

import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Text("Press ⌘ + N to create a new item") .padding() } .onCommand(#selector(AppDelegate.newItem)) // Detect keyboard shortcut for New Item .frame(width: 400, height: 300) .focusable() // Make the view focusable for keyboard input } } @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } extension AppDelegate { @objc func newItem() { // Your code for creating a new item print("New item created!") } }
