Special Key Features
The integrated keyboard takes advantage of several special
features to make using a small keyboard easier.
“Sticky” Keys
The integrated keyboard uses a “Sticky Key” feature for the
Shift,
Menu,
and
Fn
keys (known as “key modifiers”). This means that
when you enter a number or symbol requiring a combination of
keys to be pressed, the key modifier will stay engaged until you
press the second key. It is not necessary to press both keys at the
same time.
Special Keys
There are several keys on the integrated keyboard that, when used
in combination with other keys, make it easier to navigate the
keyboard or have special modifier capabilities.
