+<concept id="GUID-4067B0E6-9431-4325-95F7-78B143EED326" xml:lang="en"><title>Softkeys
+and basic softkey configuration</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>The Symbian platform supports two softkeys and labels the Selection key
+in the middle of the Control pane. This, in effect, looks like a "middle softkey".
+Touch UI does not have the middle softkey label visible, refer to <xref href="GUID-BB8B3A11-0BBC-4759-A7F4-A28C9E70573F.dita">Touch
+support for common UI components</xref>. The softkey labels are placed in
+the control pane (the bottom area of the screen). The left and right softkeys
+always have textual labels, but the Selection key can also have two icons
+in certain situations.</p>
+<p>The three softkey configurations supported in the Symbian UI style are
+the following:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>Basic Symbian portrait-oriented UI with softkeys immediately below
+the screen (the middle softkey label is visible) </p></li>
+<li><p>Symbian UI with side softkeys in landscape (both left and right rotation
+possible, middle softkey label not possible) </p></li>
+<li><p>Symbian UI with bottom softkeys in landscape (middle softkey label
+not possible). Not available for Touch UI.</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>For more details on the functions assigned to softkeys, see <xref href="GUID-959AB527-12A7-4BDB-B01F-F0868E60D237.dita">Where
+the Symbian user interface belongs </xref>and <xref href="GUID-26435FE1-D912-4AA2-96EE-82B35DA231E6.dita">Typical
+functions of the standard keys</xref>. </p>
