When you make a vertical stroke from thebottom to the top in the text input area, the Shift indicator arrow appears in the lower right corner of the screen. While thisarrow is visible, you can make the punctuation shift characters shown in the following illustration. Once the arrow goes away, thepunctuation mark appears.TIP: Using an additional Shift stroke to finish writing the character (as shown in the demo) is optional, but willmake the character appear more quickly.Draw punctuation and symbols using the punctuation shift command and the following strokes:Note that the punctuation characters are repeated as punctuation shift characters, where they can be entered on either side ofthe text input area. Even though this requires an additional shift stroke, you may find it more convenient, since you don’t have toremember on which side of the input area to make the stroke.TIP: Samples of the character strokes are available in the Graffiti® 2 Help file. To view the Help file, use thefull-screen pen stroke, dragging the stylus from the text input area to the top of the screen.
