Keyboard Short Cuts on Pocket PC
Did you know that most keyboard short cuts that you use on
your computer can be used on your Pocket PC as well. Here is a small
compilation of shortcuts that can be used on your Pocket PC.
As you are aware, when you open any application
on your Pocket PC, tapping OK
button does not stop the application. It simply continues to run in the memory.
So if you have several applications running you will notice your Pocket PC
responds a lot slower.
To shut an application running in
memory, you need to use iTask (on
an iPAQ) or go to the Start-> Settings -> System -> Memory and then selecting
the program to stop.
An alternative to shut down a running
application is using the on screen keyboard (Ctrl + Q). Most application can be
shut down using this keyboard short cut. These keys are not case
sensitive.Here is a list of keyboard short cuts that are available:
