Hello, fellow enthusiasts and artists! Welcome to The Scribble Media. Today, I’ll be showing you how to add or use a numeric keypad on an iPad Pro for Clip Studio Paint shortcuts. That’s quite a mouthful, so let’s get started!
Why Top Artists Finish Their Work on Time
Ever wondered why some top artists manage to complete their work before deadlines? The secret lies in using shortcuts! That’s right—the key to a faster workflow is utilizing keyboard shortcuts.
You might ask, "Why not just use a standard keyboard?" Well, keyboards can be bulky and inconvenient, especially if you’re on the go. Carrying a keyboard everywhere is like carrying your house with you!
The Solution: A Wireless Numeric Keypad
Enter the solution: a wireless numeric keypad! You can easily find these at online stores or your local computer shop (links in the description below).
This simple, lightweight device is a space saver and can also help you with tasks like encoding your debts and mortgages. Not only can you use it with your iMac or laptop, but today we’ll focus on how to use it with an iPad Pro.
How to Set Up Your Numeric Keypad on iPad Pro
Turn on the numeric keypad: Make sure your iPad detects it via Bluetooth. My model appeared as a Bluetooth keypad, and installation was straightforward (refer to your device’s manual for specific instructions).
Open Clip Studio Paint: Click on the Clip Studio Paint icon located in the upper left corner.
Access Shortcut Settings: Within the application, find the shortcut settings. This is where you can assign the shortcut keys on your numeric keypad to various menu commands, pop-up palettes, options, tools, and other actions.
Customize Your Shortcuts: Click on the tool you want to assign a shortcut to and select "Edit Shortcut." You can customize the keys based on your preferred tools. Keep in mind that the number of buttons available for assignment on your keypad is limited, so choose wisely!
Confirmation: Once you’re done assigning your shortcuts, click OK, and you're all set!
Personalizing Your Numeric Keypad
But wait, we’re not finished yet! You’ll need to familiarize yourself with these shortcuts. To make the keypad more intuitive, consider customizing it with stickers. Create small icons that correspond to your shortcuts and print them out.
Adding Stickers
This is the fun part! Place the stickers on the numeric keypad. To ensure that the stickers last, add a clear gel glue on top and around the edges of your stickers. Just make sure not to spill or apply too much glue between the keys. Once dried, you can admire your customized creation!
With this new device, you can now level up your game along with the pros. This will help you save time on your art, allowing you to meet deadlines and even have time for chores or hobbies. Just remember to keep practicing!
