1.5. KEYPAD

The mobile computer has a physical keypad and a touchscreen to receive user's input.
Among the two, the touchscreen provides more intuitiveness in interacting with the device.
This section shows how to input text using physical keypad and onscreen keyboard. To
know how to operate the mobile computer using the touchscreen, see Touch Control.

1.5.1. PHYSICAL KEYPAD

The physical keypad on the front of the mobile computer bears much resemblance to laptop
or PC keyboards. It supports multi-key operation, which normally requires two keys hit
simultaneously, one of which is a modifier key.
The physical keypad is either a numeric type or a QWERTY one. Each wedges a set of
"enhanced keys" along the top and a set of character keys at the lower half.
As for entering text, the numeric and QWERTY keypad are equally capable of entering
numbers, letters, symbols and punctuations. Both also receive supplementary backlight
along with the screen.

ENHANCED KEYS
Enhanced keys are arranged along the top of the physical keypad, separate from the
character keys. Use these "enhanced keys" to launch actions on the mobile computer and
OS, operate the active application, or switch the physical keypad between input modes.
Navigation keys are included also to move the caret in a text input field, and to select
between applications on the Start screen.
