Caps lock & numbers Lock?

**cheflionfoot** · 02-22-2008, 05:52 PM

Is there a way to have a caps lock or number lock on the curve. There are time i need to type out some thinegs if full capital letters, and it's a pain to hold down shift key with one finger while i type with another. Same for numbers. Is there a numbers lock?

CAPS = ALT and right caps button will leave caps on...

Num Lock = alt and left caps button

Thanks much Navi. I searched the forums and couldn't find the answer. I can now type happy.

Wow, those functions are pretty much front-and-center in the user manual Tips and Tricks section and I'm a bit surprised that so many people haven't discovered that. Here are a few other tips that might be obscure but helpful:
• Switch apps: Alt-Escape
• Soft reboot: Alt-R.Shift-Del
• PgDn (most screens): SPACE
• PgUp (most screens): Shift-SPACE
• Top of list/page: T
• Bottom of list/page: B
• Compose (in msg): C
• Reply (in msg): R
• ReplyAll (in msg): L
• Forward (in msg): F
• Show outgoing (msg list): Alt-O
• Show incoming (msg list): Alt-I
• Show phone log (msg list): Alt-P
• Prev day's msgs (msg list): P
• Next day's msgs (msg list): N
• "About" info ALT + EACE or Alt+LeftShift+h
• In Browser, click U to hide/display header
• In Browser, click D to hiDe.
• In Browser, click-hold trackball to switch between page and column
• Telephone keypad (in call or phone list, eg 1-800-BESTBUY): Alt + keyboard letter you want to dial.

I admit I haven't taken the time. Working 70 hours a week I get to play online during work to figure stuff out but actually reading the manual, hasn't happened. Sorry and thank you for the help.

**beowulf1** · 11-14-2009, 03:47 PM

**nthnc** · 02-10-2010, 04:17 AM

Thank you so much. I found out how to do number lock while trying to figure out how to do caps lock. Couldn't figure it out. So thanks.

**moose00** · 07-07-2010, 05:32 PM

You posted this 2 and a half years ago and it's still helping. Thanks man...

nice info....but where is the escape button

**jbeachy** · 07-08-2010, 06:05 PM

Escape button is the "back" button or the reverse-direction thingy to the right of the trackball :-)

**Ezcal** · 08-08-2010, 08:46 PM

Thank you SO much for the information! I've had my Bold for two years now and I'm just now learning how to use Caps Lock, haha...
