<p>Mobile device users can use the Menu to access applications. Pressing the

Home / Menu key opens the Menu, where the user may browse and select an application.

The Menu was previously called <i>Application Shell</i> and the Home / Menu

key was called <i>Applications key</i>. In addition to direct access to applications,

related applications can be collected in folders.</p>

<p>Applications are presented as a grid of items by default. User can select

a customized version of the Menu layout, such as a list. The recommended grid

layout is 3 x 4 (portrait) or 4 x 3 (landscape), that is 12 icons. Pressing

the Selection key opens an application and closes the Menu.</p>

<section id="GUID-D50A0D9B-B093-4529-971A-7239FFBA0880"><title>Shortcuts</title>When

the Menu is opened, numeric keys 1-9 can be used as shortcuts to select an

application. The keys are mapped directly to the nine icons in Menu’s initial

view, so that the Numeric key 1 corresponds to the top-left application and

the Numeric key 9 to the bottom-right one.</section>

<section id="GUID-84905F51-FD23-48EB-9C36-2022DB91DDF5"><title>Customizing

Menu</title><p>The user can adjust the order of applications, create folders

and move applications into folders within the Menu. It is possible to have

folders within folders in Menu, allowing for more hierarchically organized

structures. The number of levels for folder-in-folder is not limited and folders

are user-customizable (the user can add and remove folders). These managing

functions are available in the <b>Options</b>. In addition, the layout of

the Menu can be customized.</p></section>
