USE OF THE KEYBOARD
Multi-key entry
Sometimes you might need to press more than one key to get a character or a
special function. The
SHIFT (
Ï
), CTL/ALT or blue key are the keys that
can precede a letter or a digit to modify its original value.
According to your preferences or as the situation demands, you can decide to
use one of the two following methods to form the sequence of keys:
- Press the keys one after the other, releasing the previous key before
pressing the next. This method (also known as one finger typing) allows
you to use only one finger to make any function
Or
- You can press all of the keys required together, using two or more fingers.
The colour code simplifies the way the keyboard works. The blue key needs
to be pressed first to get a character in blue.
A simple way to understand how the multi-key entry works is by typing a ? .
The ? Being in blue means that you must precede it with the blue key that is
also in blue. You may use either method described above.
