I have connected a bluetooth keyboard (Romanian layout) to my iPad. How do I make the Fn function always stay active when typing? There are some diacritics that I can't type unless I also press Fn. Thank you!
iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Could you explain that in more detail? Apple doesn't use Fn to make diacritics, only Option and Option plus Shift.
If you provide specifics about the Romanian characters you need, I can give you the shortcuts.

Thank you for your quick answer! I'm using a Hama Key4All X300 bluetooth keyboard, with the Romanian layout.
The characters that I mentioned are: ă, î, â, ș, ț. Apart from „ă”, the remaining 4 characters are either swapped or missing. The only thing that I can do to is press Fn key, or, as you said, the Option key.
In your settings > general > keyboard > hardware keyboard, tap over at the right edge for Romanian and tell me which Romanian item you have checked. Do not use "automatic".
If you have Romanian Standard checked in Hardware Keyboard, you should have these keys directly available
Happy to hear you found the right one. Romanian has the letters at different places than Romanian Standard, as shown below
I was using the Romanian Standard. I switched to Romanian (just that) and... problem solved. Thanks a bunch, Tom!
