Key Considerations

You can en t er and edit text in th e NoteFol io™ App with either t he

App without a TI Keyboard, you cannot use shortcut key
combinations using the 2 modifier key.

The diamond key ( 2) on the TI Keyboard acts as a m odifier key ,
similar t o Con t r ol , Al t , or Command keys on other keyboards. The
NoteFolio App uses keyboar d c om mands in w hich you hold down
the 2 key and then press another key. In this gu idebook, t hat key
combin ation is shown as the diamon d symbol fol l owed by t he
other k ey. For examp le, you can press 2Q to quit th e NoteFol io
App. The square key (0) is not used in the NoteFolio Ap p.
