The Softkey Bar

The Soft Keyboard Icon

Tapping on the soft keyboard icon displays an onscreen keyboard you can use as an alternative to the hand-held keyboard.

Shift-State Indicator Icon

The softkey bar can also display the shift-state indicator icon. This icon indicates active modifier keys–[SHIFT], [ALT], [CTRL], [FN/ORANGE] and [FN/BLUE].

•Tap on Start>Settings>Buttons>One Shots. Tap in the checkbox next to Show modifier key state, to replace the soft keyboard icon with the shift-state indicator icon.

Shift-state indicator icon

When a modifier key is pressed, it is displayed in the shift-state indicator icon. In the example above, the [FN/ORANGE] key was activated.

To distinguish a ‘locked’ modifier key–a key that has been locked ‘on’–from a modifier key that is only active until the next key is pressed, ‘locked’ keys are encircled in a black frame in the shift-state indicator icon. Refer to “Activating Modifier Keys & The Shift-State Indicator” on page 39 for details.

Note: You can still access the soft keyboard while the shift-state indicator icon is displayed. Tapping on this icon displays the soft keyboard. Tapping on the shift-state indicator icon again removes the soft keyboard.
