Hi Bill, thank you very much for your detailed description of how you accomplish additional punctuation symbols. When I red what you described it certainly made sense. I don't know why I didn't think of it myself. lol What I was trying to do was to actually draw the punctuation symbol itself but what you said is grate for those including me can't quite write a certain punctuation therefore using the gesture to find it and insert it in.
Thanks again! Off I go to mess around with it some more so I can get the hang of it! :) Daniel On 25 Feb 2014, at 10:18, Bill Gallik <[email protected]> wrote: > The way I use to insert a comma (,) or apostrophe (') while in "handwriting" > mode is as follows: > > - execute the 3-finger flick down (or up) to move to the "Punctuation" > category > - execute a single 1-finger tap, this will present the period (.) > - now execute a 2-finger flick down, this initiates a list of punctuations > and the comma is the second after the period > - repeat the 2-finger flick down until you come to the apostrophe > > Once you've come to the desired punctuation mark, execute the 3-finger flick > to get away from the punctuation category.
