Roundup: Staff Picks - Mahootzki

Next up for our PreCentral staff's favorite Tips, we have our Twitter-meister Mahootzki. We have a pretty eclectic mix of tips here, without an overall theme or pattern. But that’s ok, because all of these are tips that will enhance your webOS experience and make you a more efficient user.

• Meta-tap (Gesture Area + tap) and Copy/Paste
  • The gesture area on webOS devices, combined with the physical keyboard, provides for quick access to a number of shortcuts for the user. This includes the ability to copy/cut/paste text, access different areas of apps, and will even provide an Undo function starting in webOS 2.0.
• Know your gestures: Swipe Down
  • Swiping down from the top-left or -right corner of the screen will give you access to the Application and Connections drop-down menus, respectively. The application menu is specific to the app you are in and provides access to things like app preferences, copy/paste menus, and help. The Connections menu gives you quick access to things like your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or VPN (in webOS 2.0).
• Setting Contact Reminder
  • Setting a reminder for a given contact that will appear any time you call, text or email a contact
• Roundup: Universal Search
  • All you ever needed to know about using Universal Search, from finding contacts or apps, setting a contact reminder, loading up a webpage and more
• Swipe to advance/rewind in a video
  • Advance 30 seconds or rewind 10 seconds while watching a video just by swiping across the screen
• Take a screenshot
  • Take a screenshot…duh!
• Add formatting to your email text
  • Add bold, underline, italics or color to the text of your email
