Softkey behaviour | Left hand softkey is fixed as a labelled |
| <do> action if exactly one non- <prev/> |
| one exists, nothing if none exist, or Card |
| (providing a menu) if more than one |
| exists. |
| Right hand softkey provides Back |
| functionality (executing <prev/>) which |
| may be relabelled. The right hand key |
| changes context depending on what is |
| highlighted on screen – a link will cause |
| the title (or link) to be displayed, and |
| <select> and <input> items can be |
| highlighted and entered. |
Right hand softkey provides fixed Back function which can be relabelled (and re- purposed – see below)
If no <do> actions of type not being "prev" are defined, left hand key is context sensitive, allowing links, <select> and <input> items to be entered.
If exactly one <do> action of type not being "prev" is defined the left hand key is bound to this action and labelled and is not context sensitive (links, <select> and <input> must be accessed by other means). This is NOT recommended.
If more than one <do> action of type not being "prev" is defined the left hand key says Card, and links to a menu of the actions in the order of their definition. As above, links, <select> and <input> must be accessed by other means.
