Smart Keyboard Mapping

Keyboard button mappings for playing games with a Smart Keyboard or external keyboard

Provenance supports playing games with a Smart Keyboard (iPad), Magic Keyboard, or any external Bluetooth/USB keyboard. This is useful when you don't have a controller available.

Keyboard mappings are currently hard-coded and cannot be customized. Custom key remapping is planned for a future update.

Tips

• iPad Smart Keyboard / Magic Keyboard works seamlessly — just connect and play

• Bluetooth keyboards pair in Settings → Bluetooth like any other accessory

• Keyboard input works alongside on-screen controls — both can be active simultaneously

• For the best experience with keyboard, use landscape orientation so the game fills more of the screen
