13 application structures</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody> |
|
14 <p>When browsing within a hierarchical application structure, the Symbian |
|
15 user interface offers direct access from one folder to another (sibling) folder |
|
16 in the same level. The Arrow left and Arrow right keys are used to accomplish |
|
17 this. The Navi pane displays the sibling folders as tabs.</p> |
|
18 <fig id="GUID-A99BF5A7-9D80-4CBA-A078-5992079E6728"> |
|
19 <title>In this example, each displayed state is a folder containing a list |
|
20 of items. State 1 contains three folders (1-1, 1-2, 1-3). When the user has |
|
21 opened one of these, there is a possibility to move directly into the other |
|
22 two folders without first going back to state 1. Folder 1-1 contains two sub-folders |
|
23 and folder 1-2 contains one.</title> |

|
26 <p>This additional navigation feature can be interpreted as a shortcut between |
|
27 sibling folders. For navigating hierarchical application structures, the basic |
|
28 navigation rules are applied, noticing the following:</p> |
|
29 <ul> |
|
30 <li><p>Moving from one folder to another has no effect on the function of |
|
31 the Back softkey in these views: from all of them, the Back function leads |
|
32 to the previous hierarchy level. </p></li> |
|
33 <li><p>The navigation shortcuts can only be applied when there is no other |
|
34 use for the Arrow left and Arrow right keys in the state.</p></li> |
|
35 </ul> |
