How can I quickly enter a carriage return on my smartphone?
Applications, Performance Series 60A. I'm struggling at writing text quickly on my Nokia smartphone, even with the aid of T9 predictive text. One 'special' character I use a lot is 'carriage return' (i.e. end of paragraph). Surely there's got to be some quick way of entering this common stroke without having to bring up the 'Select symbol' list and then use seven keystrokes to select carriage return?
A. There is, after a fashion. You'll still need the 'Select symbol' list, but rather than navigating across and down to the symbol for carriage return, simply press navigator left. This takes you back past the first character in the table, wrapping round to the last one, which happens to be carriage return. So inserting a carriage return in your text is simply a matter of pressing and holding '*', then pressing navigator left and finally navigator 'in' to select it. A total of three keystrokes rather than nine, quite a saving!
