z A single key press, pressing and holding of

is mapped to the

pound character (‘#’)

z A single key press of

is mapped to the star character (‘*’)

13.4.2 Name

In name restricted text entry, you are expected to enter a name. Since

proper nouns are not in the eZitext database, you are not allowed to enter

eZitext mode. Therefore:

z The text mode can be numeric or multitap (default multitap)

z The

key switches only between numeric and multitap

z Pressing and holding

in numeric mode goes to multitap

z Pressing and holding in multitap mode is ignored

13.4.3 Email Address

In email address restricted text entry, you are expected to enter an email

address. Therefore, you are not permitted to enter eZitext mode, and all

the restrictions in name restricted text entry apply

Additionally, the

key is optimized for symbols relating to email entry.

The

key is remapped in multitap mode to: @ _ . # * + 1. Normally

this key evokes the symbol list, but because the number of options

available to the user is limited, multitap behavior here is more appropriate

13.5 Default Text Modes

This section lists which text modes are available for a given text field. The

default text mode for each text field is also listed; you can change the

default text field (but not the restrictions on the field) in the Settings

application (see “Text Entry” on page 48)
