    12 <concept id="GUID-2F264A2A-FA7A-4718-A6B6-9A764C1D1E0E" xml:lang="en"><title>Labeling

    13 the Selection key</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

    14 <p>In the portrait mode, the Selection key takes a textual label to indicate

    15 the current functionality. The Selection key always functions identically

    16 in both portrait and landscape orientation. In most cases, the label on the

    17 middle softkey is the first item in the <b>Options</b> menu (for example,<b>Open</b>, <b>Select</b>, <b>Play</b>,

    18 and so on). The Selection key functions normally in all landscape modes, but

    19 it cannot be labelled in the landscape orientation owing to space restrictions.

    20 Since the middle softkey label is not visible in landscape (nor in Touch UI),

    21 it is important that the function assigned to the Selection key is as instinctive

    22 as possible. If there is no obvious, intuitive function available in a given

    23 situation, the context sensitive <b>Options</b> menu can be used.</p>

    24 <p>When the Selection key opens the context sensitive <b>Options</b> menu

    25 or performs the same function as the left softkey, the corresponding icons

    26 are used. When there is an item in focus that is in itself a function (for

    27 example, <b>Download images</b> or a button in a player), the middle softkey

    28 is labelled <b>Select</b>. Otherwise, the middle softkey is labelled with

    29 an appropriate text. The purpose of using a special icon for the Selection

    30 key when it repeats the left softkey is to avoid repeating the text label

    31 and also to promote the use of the Selection key as a quick and convenient

    32 way of performing some typical tasks.</p>

    33 <p>In case the Selection key does not perform its primary function in the

    34 situation (and the related first <b>Options</b> menu item is not available)

    35 the middle softkey label is not displayed, for example, in case of a locked

    36 setting item, the label <b>Change</b> is not shown. </p>

    38 <title>Labeling the Selection key in the control pane: left and right softkeys

    39 have textual labels, the Selection key has either a textual label or one of

    40 two icons: the context sensitive Options menu icon (bottom left) or the Select

    41 icon (bottom right).</title>
