Chapter 4 : Work with applications 39
Open an application in Quick Launch
Quick Launch is the bar of five icons you can access from any app. Quick
Launch always appears at the bottom of Card view.
You can customize Quick Launch to contain the icons for apps you use most
often. To open an application from Quick Launch, just tap the icon.
* Quick Launch
Quick Launch can display no more than five icons. By default it displays,
from left to right, Phone, Contacts, Email, Calendar, and the Launcher. You
can change the order of icons (except the Launcher icon) in Quick Launch
(see Reorder Quick Launch icons), or swap in whatever applications you like
(see Line up your favorite applications in Quick Launch).
NOTE If you have a notification or the dashboard is open (see View and work
with notifications), you need to dismiss the open item to access Quick Launch.
When you’re in an app, make the following gesture to display Quick Launch
and open one of its applications.
1 Drag up slowly from the gesture area to the screen.
NOTE Don’t confuse this “drag up” with the up gesture, which is a quick flick up
from the gesture area to the screen.
2 Move your finger to the application icon. When you see the app name
appear, lift your finger. The application opens.
Work with applications
Go up one level in an app (back gesture)
The back gesture takes you up one level from a detailed level to a more
general view of the application you’re working in. For example, when you
finish reading an email message, make the back gesture to close the
message and return to your list of messages. Or when you finish writing a
memo, make the back gesture to close and save the memo and return to the
display of all your memos. When you make the back gesture in an
application and that’s the only screen of that app that’s open, you minimize
the app and go back to Card view.
