Automatic formatting
The Proton’s built-in formatting capabilities extend beyond the
AutoText function to reduce your typing time dramatically.
Auto capitalization
As you compose a message, you do not have to worry about
pressing the
SHIFT
key to capitalize words — the Proton has 2
methods of performing capitalization for you!
• Begin typing; you will see that the first letter you type capital-
izes itself automatically and that every letter following a period
becomes capitalized too. The Proton recognizes the beginning
of a new sentence and does the work for you.
• If you want any subsequent characters to be capitalized, press
and hold the character key until it becomes capitalized. You
must have
Key Rate
set to either
Slow
or
Fast
for this feature to
work (i.e.,
Key Rate
must be enabled). See page 93 for more
information on the
Screen/Keyboard
options.
Auto punctuation
You can automatically insert a period at the end of a sentence or
word by pressing the
SPACE
key twice. You will also notice that the
next letter typed is capitalized.
