Nitpick about new todo entry

1 replies · 2,057 views · Started 19 September 2005

It could be that I am rather dense, but I don't see this covered anywhere. On both the 9500 and 9290 the UI for todo entries is similar, but the 9500 takes some time ordering the list. My main list has some 60 entries in (hail to ADD).

In addition to being sluggish, I have noticed that editing a todo item operates the same way (pressing enter on the item), but something odd happens when you try to save the item. On the 9290, I could press "Done" when done editing simply by pressing the "Enter" key while the cursor is on the "Description" or "Start warning" field.

It seems this is not the case with the 9500. To "Done" a todo item, I must take a hand off of the keyboard and squeeze the lower of the soft-function buttons on the right of the screen. This can get annoying after a while. Maybe I will get used to it on the 9500 and quit whining after some time.

Why is this no longer underlined? Is there another keystroke that can accomplish "Done" on the keyboard?

The manual seems to be of little help here.

Thanks in advance.

Pressing the enter key is the same as pressing the top soft key,

Because Done is at the bottom, Enter no longer works,

I have also found this annoying, Not in the ToDo section but when connecting to the net to fetch my e-mails,
