What is the OJ button? Tia

New dictionary.com spelling of orange, all words orange must be typed OJ

:laugh3:

Not sure about this one, I thought you just have to tap the area you want to type in, I will keep my eye out for it though.

I asked about the tab thing when I was at the store and he told me to just tap

Thanks guys, these are so handy.

Any idea how to quickly launch a SMS text?

No clue on this one, I just type in the name and click on the sms to the right of their number while in the contact..not too fast but it works. I will keep looking and post if I find something.

how do u download the wallpapers from this website from ur pre?

Odd question for the keyboard shortcut thread, I have not done that yet but I would try and save it to my computer and just attach my phone to computer in usb mode and transfer to wallpaper folder.

If you have multiple fields (at least in Pre config, haven't tried it on a website) hitting enter will tab between them.

I tried this method for logging into google on the web browser, it did not work to go down to the next tab, instead it hit enter to login...so I guess it is only in Pre config now. Good catch though

From the Pre User Guide:

So, once you have your highlighted text (in yellow) place your finger in the gesture area near the center button and press C, X, or V.

Best,
.

When I've been entering like username and password info, I've just used the enter key to tab into the next field instead of tapping.

Thanks plaid, I will add this to the main post. I saw the shortcut when you go to select cut/copy/paste from the edit menu but did not realize that the circle was the gesture field, big thanks!

How do you delete a draft that is in you draft folder.... No option to do so

To delete when in list view, simply flick the item off to the left or right of the screen. Sometimes you will get an option to verify you want to delete but not always, depends what you are deleting.
