Similarly, you can type the lowercase letter
k
by
pressing and releasing (with your index finger) the left key
in the top row, no keys in the next two rows, and (with your
little finger) the right key in the bottom row. This chord is
designated by the notation L00R.

FINGER KEYS are indicated
by a group of four symbols:
0, L, M, and R.
These symbols repre-
sent key presses in ROWS 1,
2, 3, and 4 (top to bottom). 0
means no button pressed in
that row; L means the Left
button is pressed; M means
the Middle button is pressed;
and, R means the Right button
is pressed.
Example:
L00R means the
LEFT Button in ROW 1 and
the RIGHT button in ROW 4
are pressed. No buttons are
pressed in ROW 2 or ROW 3.
The example given
L00R is the notation for typ-
ing the letter k.

Finger Key Notation
Labels
Black, red, blue, and green labels on
Twiddler2's keys can remind you how to type the most
common characters and commands.
A black label on a key refers to the character or
command you type when you press and release that
key alone. To type a lowercase a, you press and
release the key labeled with a black A. To type a lower-
case b, press and release the key labeled B; and so on
for keys labeled C, D, E, F, G, and H. Similarly, keys
marked SP (space), DEL (delete), BS, (backspace), and
ENT (enter) issue the designated command when
pressed and released singly.
You will find a colored dot above each top row
key. Red marks the top left key; blue marks the top
middle key; and green marks the top right key. To the
right of each key in the remaining three rows you will
find a column of three labels whose colors--red, blue,
and green--correspond with the colors of the top row
dots. Matching colors indicate a dotted-key/labeled-key
chord which types the labeled character.
For example, press the left key in the top row
under the red dot and the right key in the next row
beside the red label I. When you release the two keys
you have typed the lowercase letter
i
. Note that the
label I is red to remind you that the red-dotted top row
