Activating Modifier Keys; Locking Modifier Keys; Modifier Keys - Motorola 7545MBW User Manual

[SHIFT] and [FN]
The [SHIFT] and [FN] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and system functions. The functions
related to these modifier keys are colour-coded in white and blue print respectively above the keyboard keys,
dependant on your keyboard format.
[SYM]
NOTE
When using the Mobile Devices SDK Developers' Guide (PN 8100016), note
that the [SYM] key is interchangeable with the [ORANGE] key.
The Symbol [SYM] modifier key is represented on the keyboard by the characters SYM and provides access to
commonly used symbolic characters. Pressing the key brings up the Symbol soft input panel (SIP) onscreen
keyboard, with symbols mapped to each key. If you wish to adjust the settings for the pop-up screen (e.g. time
of delay before screen appears, etc.), modify the file softinputpanel.xml, located in the Windows folder.
NOTE
Modifier keys are remapped in Control Panel, and the Symbol SIP will automat-
ically show and use the new mappings after the next reboot.
The onscreen keyboard corresponds to the specific keyboard on your Omnii — either numeric
or alphanumeric.

Activating Modifier Keys

When a modifier key is pressed, it is shown in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to
determine whether a modifier key is active. For example, if the [CTRL] key is pressed, Ctrl is displayed at the
bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears
from the taskbar.

Locking Modifier Keys

When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is locked on. A locked modifier key is displayed in underlined letters in
the taskbar. For example, pressing the [FN] key twice locks it on — it is displayed as an underlined blue FN in
the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen. The same is true of the [SYM] key, which is shown as an
underlined orange SYM in the taskbar.
The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it off. Once a modifier
key is unlocked, the underline representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.
