Chapter 8: Keymaps

Remember : "Sticky" keys are also known as "second" function keys. Ctrl, Alt, Shft, Blue and Orange keys are "sticky keys".
Sticky keys do not need to be held down before pressing the next (or desired) key. It is valid to use combined modifiers on
specific keys.
The key mapping in this section relates to the physical keypad. See the Input Panel for the Virtual (or Soft) Keypad used with
the stylus.

32 key Numeric-Alpha Keymap

The following keypad
l
emulators use a separate keymap.
When using a sequence of keys that require an alpha key, first press the Alph key. Use the Shft sticky key or the Caps
l
key sequence (Blue+Tab) for upper case alphabetic characters.
Pressing the Alph key forces "Alpha" mode for the 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 keys. The 1 and 0 keys continue to place a 1 and
l
0 into the text field.
To create a combination of numbers and letters before pressing Enter, remember to tap the Alph key to toggle between
l
Alpha and Numeric mode.
When using a sequence of keys that do not include the Alph key but does include a sticky key, press the sticky key first
l
then the rest of the key sequence.
Pressing the Power key when in any sticky mode (Blue, Orange, Shift, etc) either turns the device On (when Off) or
l
places it in Suspend (when On).
For those keymaps that require remapping (MAP), keys can be remapped using the Buttons Panel (Start > Settings >
l
Personal > Buttons).
