The most used functions can be executed with three single keys.
A button panel with arrow keys, which surround a circular key, is used to
navigate through document. Each direction up, down, left, right is
represented by one of the cross like arrow keys and therefore allows an
intuitive use of the keys. This menu key panel is similar to panels of other
modern multimedia devices, i.e. television sets. The arrow keys of this
menu key panel also are used for moving in the menu.
