15 Back Tab key The back tab key performs the same function as pressing the Shift key and the
Tab key. For many applications this will move the focus to the previous control in the
sequence, as opposed to the Tab key which moves the focus to the next control.
For applications that use the Tab key for text entry, the Back Tab key typically performs the
same as the Tab key.
Configuring built-in keyboard settings
You can configure some keyboard behaviors under Settings / System / Languages & input / Physical
keyboard / Built-in Keyboard.
Use the Built-in Keyboard settings to check settings or make changes to some of the built–in keyboard
behavior. Use the Android toggle to Enable/Turn On (slide to the right) or Disable/Turn Off (slide to the
left). Details for each setting are covered below.
Built-in keyboard backlight
The built-in keyboard is equipped with a backlight that makes it easier to use in dimly lit areas. The
backlight is activated when you press a key; it stays on for a while and then turns off to conserve power.
You can manually turn off the backlight or adjust its brightness.
To edit the backlight behaviors, go to Settings / System / Languages & input / Physical keyboard /
Built-in Keyboard / Backlight and configure as required:
l Enable. This is On by default. If you don't work in low light settings, turn Off to completely disable
the backlight and save battery power.
l Timeout . Set the Timeout value to determine how long the backlight stays on when no keys are
pressed.
l Automatic Mode. When set to:
l Off, the backlight is always enabled . This is the default setting.
l On, the device's ambient light sensor is used to keep the backlight from turning on in well lit
areas.
l Backlight brightness. Move the slider to adjust the brightness of the backlight (right = brighter, left
= dimmer). Brighter settings consume more power than dimmer settings.
