BlackBerry Keyboard and typing

Communicate with the world by typing messages, email, and documents with the BlackBerry Keyboard. You can type
efficiently by creating custom text shortcuts and turning on prediction, correction, and spell check. After you set up your
keyboard preferences, learn how to cut, copy, and paste text, and delete words. If you turn on prediction, you can select
word suggestions that appear while you type. You can also set up or change your display, typing, keyboard, and voice input
languages.
Using BlackBerry Keyboard gestures
Take a moment to check out how to navigate your BlackBerry device using these common keyboard gestures.
Double-tap on the BlackBerry Keyboard to open the circle of interest. Then, on the keyboard, you can slide your finger left,
right, up, and down. Your finger movements on the BlackBerry Keyboard move the cursor on the screen to a specific
location in a text field. You can also slide your finger up and down to scroll through lists (such as the notifications in your
BlackBerry Hub), or scroll through the text of a document.
If you rotate your BlackBerry device horizontally, you can slide your finger along the keyboard to turn the pages of an eBook
or scroll up or down in webpages or other documents.
