2.5.2. ONSCREEN KEYBOARD
The O.S. provides users with an onscreen keyboard. Compared to physical keypads, the
onscreen keyboard bears more likeness to a conventional laptop’s keyboard by all the
modifiers keys arranged on the left edge and the “QWERTY” layout. The onscreen keyboard
isn’t overshadowed by physical keypads at all but outdoing them by being able to enter a
series of diacritics for European languages.
Onscreen keyboard auto-opens in some applications while in others it doesn’t unless you
tap on a field that accepts input.
In case the onscreen keyboard doesn’t open, tap the keyboard icon
on Softkey bar to
open it.
Onscreen keyboard opens and readies to enter lowercase letters, numbers, and a few
frequently used symbols.
MODIFIER KEYS
Although the touchscreen is a resistive single-touch type, use of modifier key, which
normally involves hitting two keys, are still available on onscreen keyboard.
On onscreen keyboard there are five modifier keys. They all sit at the left edge. This is how
they basically work:
1) Hit a modifier key on onscreen keyboard.
The onscreen keyboard enters modifier state.
2) Hit the second key.
