Typing Text
Many of the T-Mobile Device applications have screens in which you type text, such as the Email Compose
screen, the individual Preference screens, the Browser’s Go To pane, etc. You will primarily use the keyboard to
type text, which is easy to use, but here are some hints to make typing and editing text easier:
• Use the Directional Pad to navigate within a text box:
- Press the up/down and left/right arrows to move in those directions among characters in a text box.
- Press the corners of the D-pad (two adjacent arrows at the same time) to jump up/down one line and
forward/backward a character.
• To delete a character to the left of the cursor, press the DEL key [
].
• To delete a character to the right of the cursor, press SHIFT+
.
• To delete all the characters in a text box, press ALT+SHIFT+
.
• To lock the SHIFT key, press SHIFT twice. To unlock, press SHIFT once again.
• To lock the ALT key, press ALT twice. To unlock, press ALT once again.
