+<h2>Physical Keyboard</h2>
+
+<p>Here are some keyboard shortcuts available when a <strong>hardware
+keyboard</strong> is present. If you&#x27;re using a phone where the main input
+type is a <strong>virtual keyboard</strong>, please see the VirtualKeyboard help topic.
+</p>
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> the side that <strong>shift</strong>, <strong>alt</strong>,
+<strong>slash</strong>, and <strong>tab</strong> uses can be changed in
+preferences between left, right, and disabled.</p>
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> to use advanced Sony Ericsson Xperia (mini) pro key mappings you
+have to activate the appropriate option in application settings.</p>
+<ul>
+	<li>Control key (CTRL)</li>
+	<blockquote>Pressing once on the trackball will toggle on
+	<strong>control</strong> for the next character typed. The cursor will
+	indicate this state with a &lt; symbol. Note that pressing the
+	trackball again will send an <strong>escape</strong> key.<br><br>
+	Xperia (mini) pro: the <strong>Language</strong> key (above right arrow) maps to CTRL.
+	</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Escape (ESC)</li>
+	<blockquote>Pressing twice on the trackball will send <strong>escape</strong>
+	key. Note that some other terminal emulators map pressing <strong>ALT-<i>key</i></strong>
+	to <strong>escape + <i>key</i></strong>.<br><br>
+	Xperia (mini) pro: pressing the <strong>Language</strong> key (above right arrow)
+	twice maps to ESC</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Shift</li>
+	<blockquote>Pressing the <strong>shift</strong> (up arrow)
+	key once will make the next key typed its uppercase variant according
+	to the keyboard layout. This state is indicated with an outline of a
+	triangle on the top of the cursor. Pressing it twice will turn on <strong>shift
+	lock</strong> which is indicated by a solid triangle on the top of the cursor.</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Alt</li>
+	<blockquote>Pressing the <strong>Alt</strong> key once
+	will make the next key typed its symbol as indicated on the keyboard.
+	This state is indicated with the outline of a triangle on the bottom of
+	the cursor. Pressing it twice will turn on <strong>alt lock</strong>
+	which is indicated by a solid triangle on the bottom of the cursor.</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Slash (opposite side Alt)</li>
+	<blockquote>The opposite side <strong>alt</strong> key can
+	be used as a shortcut for the forward slash / character. This aids in
+	quickly typing directories on the G1.</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Tab (opposite side Shift)</li>
+	<blockquote>The opposite side <strong>shift</strong> key
+	can be used as a shortcut for the <strong>tab</strong> key (CTRL-i) for
+	quick completion in many shells.</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Function keys (F1 through F10)</li>
+	<blockquote>Hold down the alt key with the shift key and press numbers 1
+	through 0 to send F1 through F10 respectively.<br><br>
+	Xperia (mini) pro: pressing the <strong>Language</strong> (above right arrow) key twice
+	and a number (with <strong>Alt</strong>) maps to F1 through F10
+	</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Navigation keys</li>
+	<blockquote><strong>Alt</strong> + Up Arrow = Page Up
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + Down Arrow = Page Down
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + Left Arrow = Home
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + Right Arrow = End
+	<br><strong>Search key</strong> = URL scan</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Other keys</li>
+	<blockquote><strong>Alt</strong> + BackSpace = Insert</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Additional mappings for Asus Transformer Series Mobile Dock:</li>
+	<blockquote><strong>Back key</strong> = ESC</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Additional mappings for Samsung Captivate Glide (SGH-i927):</li>
+	<blockquote><strong>Microphone key</strong> = TAB
+	<br><strong>.com</strong> = ESC
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + <strong>Shift</strong> + O = opening square bracket ([)
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + <strong>Shift</strong> + P = closing square bracket (])
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + <strong>Shift</strong> + A = less than sign (&lt;)
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + <strong>Shift</strong> + D = greater than sign (&gt;)</blockquote>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+	<li>Additional mappings for Xperia (mini) pro:</li>
+	<blockquote><strong>SYM</strong> = opens/closes symbol input dialog
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + S = pipe symbol (|)
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + Z = backslash (\)
+	<br><strong>Shift</strong> + ' = tilde (~)
+	<br><strong>Shift</strong> + ? = grave accent (`)
+	<br><strong>Shift</strong> + . = caret (^)
+	<br><strong>Shift</strong> + , = greater than sign (&gt;)
+	<br><strong>Shift</strong> + @ = less than sign (&lt;)
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + <strong>Shift</strong> + U = opening square bracket ([)
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + <strong>Shift</strong> + I = closing square bracket (])
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + <strong>Shift</strong> + O = opening curly bracket ({)
+	<br><strong>Alt</strong> + <strong>Shift</strong> + P = closing curly bracket ({)</blockquote>
