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 Application Shell and the Home / Menu +key was called Applications key. In addition to direct access to applications, +related applications can be collected in folders.

+

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.

For more details on the landscape orientation, see Symbian +UI with rotation.

ShortcutsWhen +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.
+
Customizing +Menu

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 Options. In addition, the layout of +the Menu can be customized.
