windows phone tips and tricks to type quicker with shortcuts
This tip is unlikely to free up hours of your time, but it will make your keyboard finger-pecking faster while composing an email, SMS, One Note entry or suchlike. Rather than pressing the numeric or punctuation buttons to enter their respective modes, then choosing your desired digit or mark, then tapping the button you first pressed to get you back into the standard keyboard, just press and hold the numeric/punctuation button and slide your finger over to the number or mark you want to use. Release your finger and the keyboard will snap back into default keyboard mode. Ninja skill unlocked.
