		<description><![CDATA[Tips for using the keyboard and gesture area on the Palm Pre, including how to select text and take a screen shot.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Using a smartphone effectively involves learning how to use it quickly and efficiently.  Getting to know the keyboard shortcuts on your Pre will help you do things faster.  Here&#8217;s a list to help you out.</p>
<h3>First, the simple ones:</h3>
<p><strong>Shift</strong> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22" title="HW_Shift_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Shift_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Shift_icon_CasS09" width="26" height="18" />: Enter uppercase letters.  Press and release, then press the key you want.  Press twice for CAPS lock.  Press a third time to clear the shift state</p>
<p><strong>Sym</strong> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24" title="HW_Sym_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Sym_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Sym_icon_CasS09" width="27" height="18" />:  Brings up a list of the symbol characters.  You can scroll through the list by dragging or flicking.  You can also press a letter on the keyboard to filter by that letter.  Pressing another letter with a matching symbol key will change the filter.  Press Sym again to clear dismiss the list.</p>
<p><strong>Orange</strong> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23" title="HW_Orange_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Orange_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Orange_icon_CasS09" width="15" height="18" />:  Selects the alternate keys on the keypad (the numbers and symbols printed on the keys).  Press twice to lock to this input mode.  Pressing a third time clears the mode.</p>
<p><strong>Center</strong> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25" title="HW_Center_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Center_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Center_icon_CasS09" width="18" height="18" />: Switches to card view, allowing you to scroll through your applications</p>
<h3>Now, the more complicated ones:</h3>
<p><strong>Cursor movement</strong>:  Press and hold the Orange key (<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23" title="HW_Orange_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Orange_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Orange_icon_CasS09" width="15" height="18" />) then swipe on the display to move the cursor.  Left and right work in move input fields, up and down will work in some.</p>
<p><strong>Text Selection</strong>:  Press and hold the Shift key (<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22" title="HW_Shift_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Shift_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Shift_icon_CasS09" width="26" height="18" />) then swipe on the display to move the cursor.</p>
<p><strong>Cut, Copy and Paste</strong>:  Press and hold the gesture area then press X (cut), C (copy) or V (paste).</p>
<p><strong>Screen shot</strong>:  Press Orange <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23" title="HW_Orange_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Orange_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Orange_icon_CasS09" width="15" height="18" /> + Shift <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22" title="HW_Shift_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Shift_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Shift_icon_CasS09" width="26" height="18" /> + P.  Note: You must hold all three buttons at the same time.  Images will be saved in the screencaptures folder in the Photos app.</p>
<p><strong>Reboot</strong>: Press Orange <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23" title="HW_Orange_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Orange_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Orange_icon_CasS09" width="15" height="18" /> + Sym <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24" title="HW_Sym_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Sym_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Sym_icon_CasS09" width="27" height="18" /> + R.  Note: You must hold all three buttons at the same time.</p>
<p><strong>Bold</strong>: Press Sym <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24" title="HW_Sym_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Sym_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Sym_icon_CasS09" width="27" height="18" /> + B.  Note: This only works in Rich Text fields, such as e-mail.  If a selection is active then bold is applied to the selection.</p>
<p><strong>Italics</strong>: Press Sym <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24" title="HW_Sym_icon_CasS09" src="http://pre101.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HW_Sym_icon_CasS09.gif" alt="HW_Sym_icon_CasS09" width="27" height="18" /> + I.  Note: This only works in Rich Text fields, such as e-mail.  If a selection is active then the selection is italicized.  Also, if you don&#8217;t press another letter (such as Q) while still holding Sym after doing this combination it will insert an i with an accent into your text, replacing your selection.  Use with caution.</p>
