Just Type overview
The Just Type feature lets you do almost anything you want on your smartphone, without having to go to a specific app. When it crosses your mind to look up, do, or make note of something, just type to put your thought into action.
Just Type works from the two screens on your smartphone that you access most often: Card view and the Launcher. By just typing on either of those screens, you can begin doing any of the following:
•Call or send a message to a contact (see Get in touch with a contact)
•Search the web (see Search the web)
•Search for email messages, web bookmarks, videos, and more (see Find information in an application on your smartphone)
•Map a location (see Find information in an application on your smartphone)
•Create a new message, memo, or other item (see Create a new item such as a message or memo)
•Update your Facebook or Twitter status (see Create a new item such as a message or memo)
•Open an app (see Open an application)
You can also start a search by copying text in another application, opening the Launcher or Card view, and pasting the text. The text appears at the top of the screen as the search term. To paste using the application menu (Edit
>Paste) in Card view, you first need to tap the Just type box. If you paste by pressing and holding the gesture area and then pressing the V key, you do not need to tap in the box.
