I wish there was a keyboard shortcut to get into an SMS message quickly.

There is Qsms dwayne. Press the Q key and a pop up for sms contact appears. I use it all the time. Dial from home screen has to be set to "No". I will post a link.

Some themes bind $ to the SMS.

Minimal 6(my theme) has that keybind.

Thank you for the feedback.
I was really just hoping some crackberry newbies would see this so they could use their phones faster.

**MrObvious** · 04-02-2011, 02:07 AM

I think you can also hit the c key and push SMS. I dunno.

Don't forget, Y will bring up yahoo, and X gives you Windows Live messenger. Aren't keyboard shortcuts the best?

I never understood why someone would forgo shortcuts just to dial from the home screen, especially when the green button itself is a shortcut to the phone.

I asked once here on the forum, and there were actually a few understandable reasons, but I forget what they were, lol.

Is there a way to bind a key to the favorites section of your apps?

I don't think so.. Unless there are custom themes that can do this with SVG's..

**Deathcommand** · 07-08-2011, 08:42 PM

BlackBerry App?

The things listed under "keybindings" aren't happening for me.... so I am missing some information on that.

Otherwise, loving this!

(I'm not even sure how I enabled keyboard shortcuts in the first place)
