iOS keyboard spacebar special features

There are three things that the spacebar can do besides typing a space on an iPad and iPhone.
First, if you tap the space bar with multiple fingers it will immediately type as many spaces as the number of fingers you used. This can be very useful for those who like to type two spaces after a comma. It's a little hard to do more than two on an iPhone.
Second, you can double tap the spacebar to type a period and a space, essentially ending a sentence. Saves you one click.
Finally when a word is suggested and highlighted in yellow you can tap space to accept the suggestion. This can be a huge time saver when typing.
If you know other iOS spacebar tips, please let us know!

I had no idea you could tap the spacebar with multiple fingers! That's awesome!

Thanks for the heads up, had no clue.
"Second, you can double tap the spacebar to type a comma and a space, essentially ending a sentence. Saves you one click."
Did you mean "period" instead of "comma"? "Ending a sentence" with a comma is not good. I was trying to do a comma and realized after I read it again that there may be an error here.
Thanks,

Yes. Thanks for the correction.
No big deal!
