Hello,

I can't seem to find out what all the keys mean on the keyboard. In particular the A and S keys (I think..I don't have the TP in front of me) have a circle around them and just curious what this means. I do know what all the ones on the top row do (screen capture, settings, etc).

Thx. I checked in the manuals and online and can't find this anywhere.

ASUS puts those on their laptop keyboards as well ^

They're for quick location and a reference point, no special function, like the raised bump on F and J keys.

Here ya go

Note: The "Menu" key is the key that looks like 4 horizontal lines, next to the "Alt" key.

At the home screen:
Menu + W = change wallpaper
Menu + M = manage applications
Menu + N = show notifications
Menu + A = add item to homescreen
Menu + S = new search (or you can just start typing)
Menu + P = open settings
Home + B (or Search + B) = open browser
Home + C (or Search + C) = open contacts
Home + L = open calendar
Home + Esc = exit back to homescreen

In the browser:
Menu + N (or Ctrl + T) = new tab
Menu + I (or Ctrl + I) = zoom-in on page
Menu + O (or Ctrl + O) = zoom-out on page
Menu + J = open download manager
Menu + L = open search bar
Menu + R (or Ctrl + R) = refresh current page
Menu + F = find on page
Menu + B = open bookmarks
Menu + H = view browsing history
Menu + D = add bookmarks
Menu + S (or Ctrl + S) = open social network sharing menu
Menu + G = page info
Menu + E = select text
Menu + P = open browser settings
Menu + W (or Ctrl + W) = closes the current open tab
FN + Tab = toggle browser toolbar on/off when it's hidden
Ctrl + Shift = select input method (universal outside of browser also)

In Gmail:
C = compose new message
L = go to Label menu
X = check message in Inbox
V = add Label to current message
M = delete highlighted or checked messages
Alt + Up = go to top of Inbox
Alt + Down = go to bottom of Inbox.

General:
Shift + Backspace = Forward delete (like a full keyboard "Delete" key)
Ctrl + X = Cut
Ctrl + C = Copy
Ctrl + V = Paste
Hold ALT + TAB = Show recent apps window and cycle in forward order(may not work in certain apps due to tab focus on certain elements in app) - (Only for HoneyComb 3.2 And Above)
Hold ALT + Shift + TAB = Show recent apps window and cycle in reverse order(may not work in certain apps due to tab focus on certain elements in app) - (Only for HoneyComb 3.2 And Above)

Thanks guys. Dumb that they put circles around the 1 and 6 for nothing. I do understand the nature of the bumps on the f and j - "home keys" for touch typing.

Oh well..at least mystery solved.

Thx again
