I’m using Pages on my iPhone. How do I insert the “command” key without a separate keyboard? I can’t find the equivalent online keyboard key. I got it to work once (by accident). I don’t remember how to do it consistently. I know it’s a menu option under the “Insert” menu but I can’t remember how access that menu.
iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
Instering ⌘ (Command Key) is a two-step process: You can use any Shortcut Key in place of "Cmd" which I have used, you can even use "Cm"
Step 1: Create Text Replacement
Step w: Use the Text Replacement anywhere. I have added it to Notes App

I'm not sure how you ever found a shortcut to the command key on an iPhone keyboard. To use the command key, you have to use an external keyboard.

Command Key on an iPhone:
Are you looking to use the command key on your iPhone's touch screen? There is no dedicated command key on the builtin keyboard of the iPhone; you'll have to use an external keyboard

What is the purpose you want to accomplish in iPhone Pages via the command key? Normally iOS apps offer an alternative way to do things that you would use the extra keys on a hardware keyboard to do.

I was obviously not descriptive enough on my original post. I didn’t mean to enter the text “Command “. I want to enter the Command key as a control key such as “Command-Z” as the function key for “Paste” to add text from the “Copy” function. I got this to work despite not having an external keyboard. I don’t remember what keys I pressed before I accomplished this but somehow an “Enter” menu was displayed and the function “Command-Z” was displayed as an option to actually perform the function, not merely a Help description. I hope this helps you understand my real question. Thanks.

I don’t remember what keys I pressed before I accomplished this but somehow an “Enter” menu was displayed and the function “Command-Z” was displayed as one of many options to actually perform the function, not merely a Help description. All I needed to do was press the Z key after the “Command” function was entered and the Paste was accomplished. I hope this helps you understand my real question. Thanks.
Thanks for your reply. The app is “Pages”. I assume it is an Apple app. I know it is sold by Apple. It is available on the App Store. It is similar to the app “Numbers” so I presume it is created by the same people.
Thanks for the extra info!
Do you remember what app you were using? It doesn’t sound like something you would see in one of Apple's.
