Coming from a treo I am curious to know if there is a a "utility" program for bb that can cycle through the keyboard keys by holding down the key.

Example would be for letter "r" r>R>3 or for "j" j>J>;

*I know its 1/2 there by holding down the key you get to caps but looking to go a little further

or did I miss something in the shortcuts

press the key and move the trackball/trackwheel, you will cycle through lowercase, uppercase and other ascii and accented characters:

such as on the "t"
-t
-T
-xxx8482;
-Þ

I am ok with symbols, its adding the numbers or any symbol where you have to use the alt key

a the moment you can hold down say, the "d" key and you get lower "d" then if your still holding it down it go's to capital "D" right. With a program on a treo you go to lower 'd" then capital "D" then still holding it it goes to the Number "5" (all done in micro sec's of course)

You don't have to use the alt key at all

Ok, I do understand, my dense skull penetrated finally.

Not a bad idea--

i am surprised nobody has it for BB, it was a pretty popular utility program for the treo

takes less time to alt+key to get what you need.....we type so fast nobody wants to wait for the keys to change

The problem I would have with it cycling to numbers is that I have passwords which use capital letters, so I blindly hold down the key long enough so I know it's switched to upper case.

Sjjones, I used a similar app with the Q (Qcaps) and found it very useful. I obviously am no where near the crack addict typing skill level (one can dream), so if you happen to stumble accross this application, this mere non crack speed typing mortal would be very interested.
