Type letters and symbols on one screen

10 October 2009 No Comment

On the iPhone, the punctuation keys and alphabet keys appear on two different keyboard layouts. That’s a serious hassle, because each time you want, say, a comma, it’s an awkward, three-step dance: (1) Tap the ‘.?123′ key to get the punctuation layout. (2) Tap the comma. (3) Tap the ‘abc’ key, or just press the Space bar, to return to the alphabet layout.

Here’s what you can do, all in one motion:

1. Touch the ‘.?123′ key, but don’t lift your finger. The punctuation layout appears.

2. Slide your finger onto the period or comma key, and release. The ABC layout returns automatically. You’ve typed a period or a comma with one finger touch instead of three.
