Using the Keyboard
8. Other Useful Nuggets
There are some other useful tips about your keyboard that are worth knowing. Here are a few:
- If you double tap the space at the end of a sentence, it will automatically place a period followed by a space, and turn on the auto-shift so your next letter is capitalized.
- The shift key has four functions:
- Grey key with black outline of arrow "⇧": normal mode, lower case letter
- Grey key with blue outline of arrow "⇧": auto-shift mode, first letter is uppercase then it reverts to lowercase (This happens when you use punctuation or hit return to a new line).
- Grey key with blue filled arrow "⇧": manual shift mode, you have to touch the shift to get this; it makes the next letter uppercase then reverts back to lowercase
- Blue key with gray filled arrow "⇧": caps lock mode, you double-touch to get this; it turns on the caps lock mode for all caps
