Weird keyboard in swype

[sanduneboi]

Was holding my phone a weird way, hit some buttons by accident and there were weird keys on there. Arrows, cut, copy, paste buttons. Don't know how I got there, would like to know how to get back though.

if you drag your finger from the swype help icon to the symbol icon it takes you to that part of the keyboard. pretty usefull for selecting specific characters in text.

totally one of my favorite features about the swype keyboard! VERY useful once you get used to it!

I also heard there is a 'trackpad' on the swype keyboard but can't seem to find it.

But I never knew of this feature. It's great!

That's what they call the trackpad.

That's what they call the trackpad.

Oh I thought it was a touch version of it like the handwriting box

that's happened to me a few times too, i just clock and hold the "sym" or "abc" button and it takes me back, i have no idea what that's for though...

Can we get this moved to the tips and tricks section... Would've originally posted it there, but I wasn't sure what I had done....

Here's where I went to learn Swype, the videos are just a few minutes and it really made it fun. Now I'm really fast and enjoying my Captivate more than the full keyboard I was used to on my BlackBerry Bold. A statement I never thought I would make.
