[Blindtlk] Bluetooth keyboard question

[Ericka]

Hello everyone! People get such great advice so I thought I would ask early start here with my concern. I like to write and I recently acquired a Bluetooth keyboard and an iPad mini 2.  I can type fine, but is there a way to select an edit text with the keyboard versus using the touchscreen? I'm talking about deleting paragraphs not a couple letters or words here and there. I know what jobs you can do control shift and an arrow key to select a word. Is there anything with voiceover or am I just stuck? 

That's my question for today. When my keyboard and iPad decide to not pair together  after recharging I'll be asking more!

Thanks for any insight.
