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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    37 folders within folders in Menu, allowing for more hierarchically organized

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

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

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

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