Well, I was trying to enter a super secure password on my Droid tonight using the Shapewriter keyboard. I had no problem entering the lowercase letters, numbers and punctuation marks in my password, but once I got to the first CAPITAL letter… BAM. I was stuck. I searched and searched the keyboard for a shift key, caps key, menu toggle, ANYTHING that would let me enter a capital letter. No luck.
Is it really possible that this keyboard does not have a SHIFT key? After searching the internet high and low, all I’ve found are several comments stating that the shift was removed from the keyboard at some point.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD THEY DO THAT?
So, looks like I may be flipping back to the standard keyboard for now.
Pressing the Case Key (the key with chashing arrows, the right most key of the middle row) changes the case of the letter before the cursor. If the cursor is at the end of a word (letter string), the Case key changes the capitalization of the entire word. The advantage of the Case key is that you can cycle through all cases of capitalization after writing a word (e.g. iPhone > iphone > Iphone > IPHONE > iPhone).
