Input line
The following actions take place when you press the line key against the input lines.
• Selects the corresponding line for the line which accepts user input.
• Displays the cursor after the last character of the existing content if the line is an input line. If
an input line is selected, the interface performs no action even if the cursor is in the middle of
the line.
• Performs the action of the first soft key for the line which does not accept user input even if
the line is already selected.
For example, when you press a line key in Contacts, the interface initiates a call to the
contact because the first soft key represents the Call key.
There are few exceptions on the Phone screen. For example, by pressing a line key you cannot
hold a call even if Hold is the first soft key.
