Hot-Keys
The four Hot-Key buttons include Tab & Esc keys (these keys are particularly
useful in Tablet Mode) and a wheel key for scrolling/Enter key functionality.
(Move the wheel left or right for scrolling functions in much the same way as
the keyboard arrow keys; push the wheel in for Enter/Return functions.) In
Tablet Mode the “Q” key is used to toggle the screen rotation between Land-
scape and Portrait configurations; it also acts as a power button. The table
below lists the function options depending upon the time duration the key is
pressed (see sidebar for use in Notebook mode).

puter is in Tablet mode

is depressed).
If you are in Notebook

the same set of func-
tions listed in the table
by tapping/pressing
the “Q” key and press-
