Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. ?? For example, on a iKôn PDA C, 47-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print above the [4] key. Pressing the [FN/ORANGE] key followed by the [4] key displays a square bracket rather than the number 4. ?? The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.3.4.2.1 Activating Modifier Keys & The Shift-State IndicatorWhen a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modi-fier key is active.

To help you identify when a modifier key is locked ‘on’, the key is represented in the shift-state indicator icon with a black frame around it. Figure 3.4 Shift-State Indicator Icon – Locked Modifier KeyOnce a modifier key is unlocked or turned off, it is no longer displayed in the shift-state in-dicator icon.3.4.3 The KeysThe [SHIFT] KeyThe [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys. You can lock this key ‘on’ so that when you press an alpha key, an upper case character is displayed. When you press a numeric key, the associated symbol on the numeric key is displayed on the screen.If you press the [SHIFT] key twice, it is locked ‘on’ essentially acting as a [CAPS] key, dis-playing uppercase characters. In this state, if you type a numeric key, the number rather than the symbol above it is displayed. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the [CAPS] function off.The Arrow KeysThe Arrow keys are located near the top of the keyboard. The arrow keys move the cursor around the screen–up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline char-acter that indicates where the next character you type will appear.The [BKSP/DEL] KeyThe [BKSP] key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke. The [DEL] key ([FN/BLUE] [BKSP]) erases the character at the cursor position.Note: The locking behaviour of the modifier keys can be changed so that, for example, pressing a modifier key once will lock the key ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 87 for details. Note too that by default, the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed only once.](https://usermanual.wiki/Psion/LBMA46LCS2169.User-Manual-Part-1/User-Guide-876166-Page-71.png)

These keys are ac-cessed by pressing [FN/BLUE] followed by numeric keys [1] to [10]. They can be used with the Windows Mobile 6 operating system or another application. Keep in mind that the fol-lowing function keys are used by the Windows Mobile 6 operating system: [F1] - softkey 1, [F2] - softkey 2, [F6] - volume up, and [F7] - volume down.Function keys [F1], [F2], [F3] and [F4] labelled in grey boxes next to the [TAB], [ALT], [ESC] and [CTRL] keys allow you to remap these keys for your application.The Macro Keys–[M1] to [M3] ??Macro keys [M1] to [M3] contain up to 20 programmable characters (“positions”) and exe-cutable keys. These keys are accessed by pressing [FN/ORANGE] followed by alpha keys [O], [P] or [Q].

By default, the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed once. However, depending on how your unit is set up in the ‘One Shots’ tab, you may find that you need to press the [FN/ORANGE] key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 87 for details.Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second between key presses when selecting the second, third or fourth letters on a key. For example, suppose you want to type the letter ‘c’ – you would need to press the [2] key three times. With the [FN/ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause between key presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically.](https://usermanual.wiki/Psion/LBMA46LCS2169.User-Manual-Part-1/User-Guide-876166-Page-73.png)
