2-12 Special features

once you have pressed the shift key, the next key press always generates a shifted character. In most text editors, the shift and arrow keys (see number 7 in Figure 2-13) can be used to select text (see "Special features: Settings and Menus" on page 2-13).

5. Control (Ctrl)

Pressed together with certain keyboard keys, the control key generates shortcut commands which can be used in most viewers and text editors, see "Special features: Shortcuts" on page 2-13.

6. Character (Chr)

The character key is used to generate characters not on the communicator keyboard. A single press of the character key opens the special character table. Some special characters are also printed on the keyboard as the third (green) character. These characters and certain other characters can be generated by pressing and holding the character key while pressing the cor- responding key, see Chapter 8 "Notes: Notes set- tings - Special characters" on page 8-3.

7. Arrow keys

The arrow keys can be used to move the cursor or the selection frame (in the same way as the scroll keys). In some applications, the arrow keys have special functions (see "Special features:

Settings and Menus" on page 2-13).

8. Enter

When the cursor is shown, pressing Enter moves the cursor to the beginning of the next line or adds a new line. The Enter key can also be used to select contacts and contact information in the Contacts directory and to open folders and docu- ments. When information notes (like a missed call notification) are shown, you may press Enter in- stead of the OK command. In options and set- tings, when a value can be toggled, you may press Enter instead of Change.

9. Backlight / help

Press the key to activate the backlight.

Press Shift+ to activate a context-sensi- tive help (see below).
