32 Chapter 3 : 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 (see Get in touch with a contact)
• Search the web (see Search the web)
• Search for email messages, web bookmarks, videos, and more (see Find
information in an application on your smartphone)
• Map a location (see Find information in an application on your
smartphone)
• Create a new message, memo, or other item (see Create a new item such
as a message or memo)
• Update your Facebook or Twitter status (see Create a new item such as a
message or memo)
• Open an app (see Open an application)
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.

touch.
