Command Menu Shortcuts give you access to common functions for a program. Many sophisticated programs include command menu shortcuts. For example, to copy a block of text in Documents to Go all you need to do is highlight it, swipe the silkscreen with a diagonal upstroke and write in the letter "c" and you have the block of text copied and waiting to be pasted. Want to learn how to do it? Read on!

Step 1: To activate the Command Menu Bar for a program, draw a line (swipe) from the bottom left corner of the graffiti area to the top right corner (don’t start the swipe on the keyboard shortcut - "abc").

Step 2: A dialogue box will briefly appear at the bottom of your screen. Select which function you wish to use for that file by tapping on its icon.

 

 

Different menu bars with different functions will appear depending on the program as shown on the right.
