Chapter 1: Beginning at the Beginning
Although pinch and stretch work with panoramas, these motions are most
useful when you’re in applications that aren’t sized for your screen, such as
Web pages. However, you can use them wherever you like.
Double tap
The double tap (shown in Figure 1-15) is where you touch the same button
on the screen twice in rapid succession. You use the double tap to jump
between a zoomed-in and a zoomed-out image to get you back to the previ-
ous resolution. This option saves you from any frustration in getting back to
a familiar perspective.
Two quick taps within a bounded area.

It’s important to time the taps so that the phone doesn’t interpret them as
two separate taps. With a little practice, you’ll get the timing of the second
tap down.
The keyboard
The screen of the Windows Phone is important, but you’ll still probably
spend more time on the keyboard entering data on a small QWERTY key-
board. All Windows Phones come with a software keyboard; some come with
a software keyboard and a hardware keyboard.
Tapping on the software keyboard
The software keyboard automatically pops up when the application detects
that there is a need for user text input. The keyboard in Figure 1-16 appears
at the bottom of the screen.
