Shortcut keys

On BlackBerry® devices with a physical keyboard, shortcut keys provide users with direct access to common actions for a specific

screen. For example, users can use shortcut keys to compose an email message or add a bookmark in the browser. Users can

also use shortcut keys to access buttons in a dialog box. Some users rely on shortcut keys to perform some tasks without opening

the menu and to move around the screen quickly.

Menu items do not have shortcut keys assigned to them. After users open the menu, they can press the key for the first letter of

a menu item to highlight the menu item. To initiate the action associated with a highlighted menu item, users press the Enter

key or click the trackpad. If multiple menu items have the same first letter, users can continue pressing the key for the letter until

they highlight the menu item that they want.
