Navigating applications
You can navigate between applications using the navigation keys, the favourites bar,
and the recently used applications window, which lets you switch easily between all
recently used applications. The navigation keys are the Home key, the Recent apps
key and the Back key. Some applications get closed when you press the Home key
to exit while others are paused or continue to run in the background. If an
application is paused or running in the background, you can continue where you left
off the next time you open the application.
