Now that's one nice trick. What about if you're looking for the identity of an unrecognized caller?
I write many text messages using letters from other languages: æ, ø, å, é, etc. I see that one can hold down the Sym/Space key for a couple of seconds to get a big chart of characters to scroll through. Is there a way to just use a letter key to get all variations of that letter? Many thanks!
Thanks for the correction. Just one of those days...
