E71 Shortcuts To Copy/Paste, Mark Items, etc - All You Need Here!
Topics: E71 Shortcuts, E71 Tips 31 commentsWith all the keys that the Nokia E71 has, there has to be a ton of little shortcuts right? You know, copy/paste, lock, highlight, etc. Knowing all these little E71 shortcuts can be extremely handy you will find.
To Mark A Single Item On The E71:
Shift + center d-pad
To Mark Multiple Items On The E71:
Shift + d-pad down/up
To Copy & Paste On The E71:
Ctrl+C (but you need to hold down Func+Chr+C to get this on the keyboard). You can highlight text (in edit situations) by holidng the shift key and moving the direction pad. Copy will appear as on of the softkey labels. (thanks to this post)
Bluetooth Shortcut On The E71 (not on all product codes):
Press and Hold * key.
Switch Between Silent & General Profile On The E71 (not on all product codes):
Press and Hold # key.
Shortcut To Launch Browser From Standby Screen On E71:
Press and Hold 0 (zero)
Bring Open List Of Open Applications On The E71:
Hold down Menu/Home key.
Thats all I can think of for now. They should all work correctly like they do for me. Let me know if you can't get some of the functions working. I jotted these down quick so I might have made some typos.
If you guys have any others I would love to know some!

the mark a single item trick does not work for me. i have the NA version. no problems with the others.
note that when you highlight anything (even a blank space) "paste" appears as the right soft key (if you continue to hold down the highlight) and you can use that key to paste anything you have copied previously.

ctrl + c works better when you don't try to hold down 3 key simultaneously. Instead press function key release it, then press ctrl key, release and then press c. One after another.

Dude, you rock. The bluetooth and profile change is a lifesaver.

Save Page shortcut?
=============
Is there a shortcut to save pages from Nokia web browser?
I like to visit sites and save pages for offline reading.
But u have to dig thru Tools and scroll down to Save Page command. Tedious after a while.

I haven't seen a shortcut that your talking about like that.
August 22, 2008 5:30 AM
quick switch between available input languages: Fn + Space or Shift + Chr
in the default browser (don't forget to press Fn to enter numbers):
0 - home page
1 - bookmarks
2 - find text
3 - previous page
8 - page overview
9 - enter web address
* - increase zoom
# - decrease zoom

Hi everyone!
I've noticed two curiosities on my phone, shortcuts which I don't know how to make use of:
In home screen, entering a number followed by a sharp sign, instantly replaces that input with a telephone number. For example, entering "121#" replaces it with "555-3234234"..
I've come to understand that this is phone numbers stored in SIM-card "positions", so this number 555- is stored at SIM-position 121.
I guess it could be a practical shortcut back in the 90's, but now, with the nokia, you're not remembering sim-card positions anymore, you remember names.

Press Function twice to keep the function key on all the time. Then, control-c to copy and control-v to paste.
After that, you can release the function key. I think this easy. You dont have to press 3 keys in sequence and you dont have to hold 3 keys at one time.

Better hold Shift and then press softkey for bilingual users. Cntrl+c nor Cntrl+v doesn't work with non eng layout.

Hi all,
Is there any way to copy text when not in Edit mode?
Like when you open a text/sms message or email and would like to copy part of it while reading the message?
thanks

hi guyz. Do you happen to know a shortcut that gives the semicolon ( ; ) ? i need it when i am sending to many names in the to field (i used to have it on my old E61...)
Any idea whats the shortcut to get underscore ? ( _ ) ?
Thanks

Thanks for the helpful hints. Too bad my # doesn't enable silent mode. Does everything else though.
Oh and hold the Left softkey for a few seconds, this will read messages on the home screen if you haven't already opened them.
October 24, 2008 9:09 AM
yeah, wheres the underscore?

Just wondering…
Is there any way of copying a phone number from a QuickOffice document, and pasting it into the phone dialler thingy?
I can copy and paste into a note or wherever no problem, but it would be REALLY handy to do it into the phone. In my work, I have a lot of docs with phone numbers in them, and it would be great to do this.
As it is, I have to stop the car, write the number down, (Yair I know… the old memory isn’t too god these days) then punch it in to dial it.
When I try to copy/paste, it just enters a “V”, rather than the number I have copied.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Istvan from Budapest:
holding the left soft key will read out the unread sms messages in English...but some of us as me receives just "memory full error" which may be caused by certain third party appz!

Press the Ctrl button to access a table of symbols. The _ char can be found there.

To address a message to many people, just press return at the end of each name (i.e. new line). This is one of my favorite functions on the E series phones.
Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut for "tab". It used to be function-space on my e61 I think...
