BLACKBERRY 101 - Beginners Guide to Keyboard Shortcuts

For our actors who are rockin' the BlackBerries!!!

Here are some helpful tips from my favorite BlackBerry forum, CRACKBERRY.COM!

Thanks to Adam Zeis, Kevin Michaluk and CrackBerry.com.



CrackBerry.com's BlackBerry 101 Lecture Series


If you're new to the BlackBerry world, you are surely overwhelmed with all the buttons and ports on your device. You are learning things as you go, finding out something new everyday. Well you may or may not know that there are a multitude of keyboard shortcuts for your device that will help you speed through many things on your BlackBerry in no time at all. Here we will take a look at some of the various shortcuts you can use for messaging, browsing, composing email/SMS and more. Lets jump right in. (Keep in mind these are the default shortcuts and should work for most devices)

Beginner's Guide to BlackBerry KeyBoard Shortcuts

The Convenience Key

Convenience Key


The first and most basic of all shortcuts is the Convenience Key. This is the one key that you hold the power to. You have the option to change this to whatever you find to be the most useful - to lock your keys, activate the camera, compose an email - you name it. To change this option, go to Options > Screen/Keyboard and set it under Convenience Key.


Create a Signature with AutoText

Auto SMS

Many people have asked how to easily create multiple signatures for emails or SMS. The simplest way is by creating an AutoText entry with your preset signature. To do this, go to Options > AutoText. Select "New". Under "Replace", type a shortuct (ie. sig, zz - something quick and easy). Under "With" type your desired signature ("Sent by Adam") then choose save and you're set! Now in your SMS just type your shortcut and hit Space and you're signature will appear.


Standby Mode
One of the greatest tips to save on battery life and keep from calling people with yourr device in your pocket (hey, we've all done it) is to put your device into standby mode. To do this, simply hold the Mute key on top of your device for 3 seconds. Your Berry will go into standby mode, where you will be prevented from accidentally pressing any keys, but all your alerts and calls will still come in. To exit standby mode, just tap the Mute key.

Now we will go through a list of all the shortcuts for various areas of your device.


Basic Shortcuts

The following shortcuts can be used in many applications:

  • To exit a screen (or to move to a previous page in a browser) press the Escape key
  • To select or clear a check box, press the Space key
  • To switch applications, hold the Alt key and press the Escape key. Continue holding the Alt key and select an application, then release the Alt key
  • To return to the Home screen, press the End key

  • To type a letter in a phone number field, press the Alt key and the letter
  • To move to the top of the Phone screen, press the Space key
  • To change between headset, speakerphone and handset, press the menu key and choose an option, or better yet, Tap the $ (dollar sign) key on your keyboard to turn speakerphone on/off during a call
  • To stay in a call and return to the home screen, press the Escape key and select Ok

An easy way to access the default applications is through keyboard shortcuts as well. To use these, you must have Dial From Home Screen set to "Off". (Phone > Options > General Options). You will now have to use the Send key to access your phone and make a call, but you will have the following shortcuts available:

(*Note from Lara: UPDATE! OS 4.6 and later no longer has the R (Alarm/Clock) shortcut and OS 5.0 and later no longer has the F (Profiles) shortcut. Bummer.)


Other helpful shortcuts:

  • ALT+Shift+H - Access Help ME! screen (status info etc.)
Help
  • ALT+LGLG - Access Event Log
  • ALT+Right Shift+DEL - Soft Reset

You can change the display of the 'signal strength' on your screen to read in real numbers. While at the home screen, hold down the ALT key while you type NMLL. The bars should change to numbers. For the 'signal strength', if you are in the 100 area (that means -100 dBm), you will be transmitting at maximum power. Anything at -90 to -50 is a very good signal.

Signal


On top of the AutoText there are also some short codes for common device information that you can type into SMS or email messages that will return a value:

  • myver - Device Model/Version
  • mypin - Device PIN
  • LD - Local Date
  • LT - Local Time

Once you get the hang of it, using these shortcuts will make you much quicker on the draw and help your harness the full abilities of your device. They will not only save you time, but help you easily navigate through all aspects of your device.
