most menu commands have an equivalent graffiti 2 command stroke, which is similar to the keyboard shortcuts used to execute commands on computers. the command letters appear to the right of the command names.

   

    when you draw the command stroke anywhere in the graffiti 2 input area, the command toolbar appears below the graffiti 2 input area to indicate that you are in command mode. the command toolbar covers the status bar.

   

    the command toolbar displays context-sensitive menu commands for the active screen. for example, if text is selected, the menu icons displayed may be undo, cut, copy, and paste. tap an icon to select the command, or immediately write the corresponding command letter for an appropriate command in the graffiti 2 writing area.

    for example, to select paste from the edit menu, draw the command stroke, followed by the letter p.

    command mode is active only for a short time, so you must tap an icon or write the command letter immediately to select the menu command.
