12 Chapter 4 : Just Type
Just Type overview
The Just Type feature lets you do almost anything you want on your
smartphone, without having to go to a specific app. When it crosses your
mind to look up, do, or make note of something, just type to put your
thought into action.
Just Type works from the two screens on your smartphone that you access
most often: Card view and the Launcher. By just typing on either of those
screens, you can begin doing any of the following:
• Call or send a message to a contact
• Search the web
• Search for email messages, web bookmarks, videos, and more
• Map a location
• Create a new message, memo, or other item
• Update your Facebook or Twitter status
• Open an app
You can also start a search by copying text in another application,
opening the Launcher or Card view, and pasting the text. The text
appears at the top of the screen as the search term. To paste using the
application menu (Edit > Paste) in Card view, you first need to tap the Just
type box. If you paste by pressing and holding the gesture area and then
pressing the V key, you do not need to tap in the box.

message, and so on. Tap to the right of a phone number to

company's Global Address List (GAL) for a contact: Enter the contact name, and
then tap Global Address Lookup.
