subjectMatchstick Message #37: Trivia: What Does Alt+Delete Do?



Tonight's Matchstick was brought to our attention by Jon Dahan over shabbat dinner a few weeks ago. This only happens on the AT&T Bold (as far as I can tell by my sample study of other people at the table).





So let's say he is quickly typing a long text message and presses Alt, but then presses delete. What happens? The whole text field is gone! Now, why would we need that? Well, we don't. Alt + up-scroll highlights the whole field, and then you KNOW that pressing delete will erase your hard work. So there's no need for the random surprise wipe-out.



Sincerely,




Tara Raffi

Surprise Enthusiast, except when I'm typing text messages
