ActiveKey 1.3 (Mobile)

Overview:

is a richly featured *touchpad* memo editor. It offers the convenience of creating and editing memos by tapping alphanumeric characters on three selectable soft overlays. Two different keypad layouts are provided--a simpler layout in which the letters are arranged alphabetically; and a full-bore, high-efficiency letter layout that's designed to minimize finger/thumb travel and maximize editing speed. Hardkeys provide common editing functions such as scrolling, and menu options (including full cut/copy/paste editing tools) can be accessed through the pull-down menus or through menu shortcuts. And get this: in either layout, you can select two overlays at any time that automatically display your first 40 Graffiti shortcuts for super-fast text entry. Twelve text lines are shown at nearly full display width. And switching between ActiveKey and Memo Pad is no problem at all. ActiveKey is tightly coded in Quartus Forth(TM)--with all of its features, it occupies an amazingly small 28K of RAM on your PalmPilot. There's no need to use Graffiti or the tiny built-in keyboard. And though it's designed for two-finger/thumb operation, you can use the stylus for fast entry instead if you want. It's ideal for jotting memos on the run. And it's a lot more fun than scratching out Graffiti characters!
