I've had a bit of a look at this using a Bluetooth and wired keyboard. Predictable scans and selects using Space/Enter or 1/2 or Arrow Keys. If you assign another two keys to iOS you'd think that it would work. It doesnt. It sort of 'jams' up with neither iOS nor Predictable's scan working in Predictable. (iOS scan works in predictable if configured, of course). However - a second keyboard (one BT and one wired) revealed that we could run both alongside each other quite nicely! Thus a wired switch interface and a BT switch interface would work. Well, probably!. But this is quite a cumbersome solutions as would require two switch interfaces and one switch switcher in order to work. I'm now chatting with my engineer as to whether we can make one. Totally great idea about the Tecla, EA! That's just the device that should do the trick. However, in the page your link to the Tecla is able to change between devices using long-holds, which is great, but we want to change the function of the Tecla itself using long-holds, which I doesn't appear to do in the way we need it to!
