6.1.3. Text mode
Text mode is used for text input to various applications of your iOS device, such as
writing messages, notes, iTunes search etc. This is a faster alternative to using the iOS
device’s on-screen keyboard. Morse code is used to enter text to your iOS device in
Text mode. This mode is activated by holding the joystick “Up-Long”. The joystick
commands and iOS device actions for this mode are as below:
Joystick Command iOS device Action
Left-Short Morse code dot
Right-Short Morse code dash
Up-Short Confirm character: enters current Morse
entry, or space if no character selected
Down-Short Delete last character
Left-Medium Cycles : Shift, Caps lock on, Caps lock
off
Right-Medium Repeat last Morse character
Up-Medium Backspace
Down-Medium No action
Left-Long Morse code dot repeat
Right-Long Morse code dash repeat
Up-Long Exit “Text Mode”
Down-Long No action
Centre-Long Cancels current Morse character entry
Leaving the joystick centred for 1s-2s cancels the last Morse character entry, if it was
not selected.
The diagram below summarises the joystick movements for the table above. Note
that the red actions refer to alternative ‘Select’ and ‘Home’ options depending on
which mode you are in (navigation, text etc.), and which remote you are using. For
more information, see section 9.2 Alternative mode actions.
The Morse code for entering text characters is given below:
