Pages iPad and magic keyboard

In Pages on iPad Pro using the new magic keyboard the tab key on the keyboard will not indent a paragraph. Instead it scrolls through the options at the top and bottom of the screen. Is there a way to change the setting so it works as a normal tab key (it works normally in other apps like Notes)? Thanks in advance

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Magic Keyboard and Pages and iOS on an iPad Pro 11 inch, Model year 2018 I don’t know why but when I try to type on the new Magic Keyboard on my iPad Pro 11 inch, 2018 model year I find that the keyboard strokes don’t match what I expect from the keyboard. For example, when I type a word and wish to move to the next (as I am doing now on the Magic Keyboard in this support message) instead of moving the cursor a space to the beginning of where the next word is to be typed, it instead goes up to the field labeled DOCUMENT. There are several other keyboard conventions which seem to work differently in Pages then in Notes (which appears to follow the normal keyboard convention or this support field which does as well) so can you please instruct me how to correct this problem by changing the “settings” in Pages which apparently causes this anomaly.

Try Option Tab instead. For other keyboard shortcuts see
