### Shortcuts to the text keyboard using the hardware keys.

#### Radios with a single PGUP/DN keys and the X12S:

* **\[SYS]** = cursor left
* **LONG \[SYS]** = cursor to start
* **\[MDL]** = change keyboard mode (alpha upper, alpha lower, numbers + special, numeric)
* **LONG \[MDL]** = backspace
* **\[PGDN]** = toggle case
* **\[PGUP]** (X12S) = toggle case
* **LONG** PGDN = delete
* **\[TELE]** = cursor right
* **LONG \[TELE]** = cursor to end

#### Radios with separate PGUP and PGDN keys:

* **\[SYS]** = change keyboard mode (alpha upper, alpha lower, numbers + special, numeric)
* **LONG \[MDL]** = backspace
* **\[PGDN]** = cursor right
* **LONG \[PGDN]** = cursor to end
* **\[PGUP]** = cursor left
* **LONG** PGUP = cursor to start
* **\[TELE]** = toggle case
* **LONG \[TELE]** = delete
