them to access Quick Launch.

Work with applications

Make the following gesture to display Quick Launch and open one of its applications.

appear, lift your finger. The application opens.

Go up one level in an app (back gesture)

The back gesture takes you up one level from a detailed level to a more general view of the application you're working in. For example, when you finish reading an email message, make the back gesture to close the message and return to your list of messages. Or when you finish writing a memo, make the back gesture to close and save the memo and return to the display of all your memos. When you make the back gesture in an application and that's the only screen of that app that's open, you minimize the app and go back to Card view.

To make the back gesture, swipe right to left anywhere in the gesture area.

you want. For example, to enter an é, press e. See the table below for a list of corresponding characters.

similarity to the corresponding key. In some cases, the symbol is related to the alternate character on the key, not the letter. For example, to type a € or other currency symbol, press Sym + h. Why? Because the alternate character on the H key is $.

Some applications have additional menus. For example, in Photos, tap an open picture and tap to display a menu of tasks you can do with the picture (see Photos).
