Too Hidden Features of the Windows CE Graphical Keyboard

The Windows CE graphical keyboard had some features that very few people knew existed, much less used.

Overall, the ideas enabled the user to access more characters from the basic keyboard, through the use of short-hand strokes, than would otherwise be possible without increasing the number of keys.
