IOS: getting keys like cmd-B from a physical keyboard in an iPad app

Question

There are applications that can do this. For example, Quick Office can interpret Cmd+ Bfrom a physical keyboard to bold text in a document.

What APIs in the iOS SDK will allow me to get keyboard input, for example? Doesn't seem to UIResponderhave any keyboard related methods?

First you will need to determine how to track the selection in bold. cmd + b will not work because there is no CMD on the iOS keyboard.
