Samsung GH68_37222A user manual

•Tap: Use a brief touch to select items on the display or to enter text on the

virtual QWERTY keyboard. For example: tap an Application icon to open the application. A light touch works best.

•Touch and hold: Touch and hold an icon or key to open the available

options, or to access a pop-up menu. For example: touch and hold from the Home screen to access a menu of customization options.

•Flick: Move your finger in lighter, quicker strokes than swiping. This finger gesture is always used in a vertical motion, such as when flicking through contacts or a message list.

•Swipe or slide: Quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. This allows you to move the area of focus or to scroll through a list. For example: slide your finger left or right on the Home screen to scroll among the five panels.

•Drag: Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move it. Do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

•Rotate: Automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to

landscape by turning the device sideways. For example: rotate to landscape orientation when entering text, to provide a larger keyboard, or when viewing web content to minimize scrolling.

•Pinch: “Pinch” the screen using your thumb and forefinger to zoom out when viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out.)

•Spread: “Spread” the screen using your thumb and forefinger to zoom in when viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers outward to zoom in.) These screens can be re-arranged in any desired order. For more information, refer to “Customizing the Screens” on page 49.
