Using the keyboard

In addition to using the keys of the emulator's graphical user interface, you can also use the keyboard of your PC for entering data in text boxes when the emulator is in the edit mode (that is, a pen followed by the characters "abc" appears in the status pane). You can use all the alphanumeric keyboard keys (a-z, 0-9) and the following non-aphanumeric characters: ! " % & / ( ) = ? ` < > | , . ; : _ - ~ ^ ¨ ¨ [ ]. A long press of the key will display the corresponding number.
