The Soft Keyboard Icon
Tapping on the soft keyboard icon displays an onscreen keyboard you can use as an alterna-
tive to the PDA keyboard.
Shift-State Indicator Icon
The softkey bar can also display the shift-state indicator icon. This icon indicates active
modifier keys–[SHIFT], [ALT], [CTRL], [FN/ORANGE] and [FN/BLUE].
• Tap on Start>Settings>Buttons>One Shots. Tap in the checkbox next to Show modi-
fier key state, to replace the soft keyboard icon with the shift-state indicator icon.
When a modifier key is pressed, it is displayed in the shift-state indicator icon. In the
example above, the [FN/ORANGE] key was activated.
To distinguish a ‘locked’ modifier key–a key that has been locked ‘on’–from a modifier key
that is only active until the next key is pressed, ‘locked’ keys are encircled in a black frame
in the shift-state indicator icon. Refer to “Activating Modifier Keys & The Shift-State Indi-
cator” on page 36 for details.
