Quick Tip: Hit Enter in Universal Search if You're Feeling Lucky 7

by Dieter Bohn Sat, 06 Jun 2009 4:46 pm EDT

We're hoping you're currently banging away at your Pre and not lost in the wilderness, unable to find one today. Here's a quick tip to speed up Universal Search for you: Hit Enter.

It's admittedly a bit of a chore to reach up past the keyboard all the way to the screen to tap the result you're looking for in Universal Search. But if you're confident that the top result you're currently tapping in is going to be right right one (it's also highlighted, if you're wondering), you can just hit enter to launch it. Saves you a microsecond of thumb movement, but every little bit counts. It's sort of like Google's "I'm feeling lucky" for your Pre.

I also think that a greater experience lies in the smallest of details and I wouldn't expect any less from PreCentral, so Dieter, keep it up with the tips!!! (and I don't even own a phone).

also, when creating a wallpaper I found out that you can zoom in on your own custom picture to where you want it and it will save it for you on your wallpaper.

Don't forget to use the shortcuts for cut, copy, and pasting! Left or right thumb anywhere on the gesture area, then X, C, and V!! Need to go the pull down menus!

I think this is more like vista's start menu search (which is vista's most brilliant feature I think)
