The Keys

The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it off. Once a modifier key is unlocked, the uppercase representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.

3.4.2The Keys

The [SHIFT] Key

The [SHIFT] key provides access to uppercase alpha characters, and on numeric hand-helds, it also provides access to the symbols displayed in white print on the keys.

To lock the keyboard into uppercase, CAPS-lock, press [FN/BLUE] followed by [SHIFT]. A CAPS-lockicon – a blue capital letter A within a white box – appears in the taskbar. To unlock or turn off CAPS-lock, press [FN/BLUE] [SHIFT] again.

The Arrow Keys

The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow: up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.

The [SPACE] Key

Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, press- ing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.

The [<—/DEL] Key

This key allows access to both the backspace and the delete function. The backspace func- tion represented by an arrow [<—] (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.

The delete function ([FN/BLUE] [<—/DEL]) erases the character at the cursor position.

The [CTRL] And [ALT] Key

The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are applica- tion-dependent.

The [TAB] Key

Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.

The [ESC] Key

Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box or activity and return to the previous one.
