Text Editing Modes

When a text entry area is enabled, these softkey labels display centered above the actual softkeys:

The labels appear at the bottom of the display and are activated by pressing the Softkey buttons directly below them.

The Bksp softkey is used for destructive backspacing during text entry. Pressing this softkey deletes text that is backspaced over. This softkey can only be used if there is a character to the left of the cursor. Text to the right of the cursor moves left with the cursor.

The Done softkey exits text entry mode. When Done is pressed, several actions occur:

• the line containing the text entry area no longer displays as in focus,
• the cursor no longer displays, and
• the previous softkey labels and operation are restored.

The Cancel softkey exits edit mode without changing the content of the field currently in focus.

Selecting More causes another line of softkeys to replace the current line:

The Clear softkey appears only when an in focus field contains a value, and deletes the contents of that field.

The Symbol softkey causes a set of special characters to display. The symbol selected displays in the cursor position.

The ABC softkey offers the option to change case as well as to go from alphabetic character entry to numeric character entry. Selecting this softkey causes the character to the right of the cursor to cycle from uppercase to lowercase to Title case to numeric. Selecting a different case or mode displays that choice in the softkey label field. For example, changing from upper to lowercase changes the softkey label from ABC to abc. Changing to title case causes the softkey to change again to Abc. Changing to numeric changes the softkey label to 123.

The More softkey on the second group of softkey labels changes the labels back to Bksp, Done, and Cancel.

NOTE: The * and # dial pad keys can be used to enter the * and # characters in any text mode. The cursor automatically advances after one of these characters is entered.
