The virtual keyboard offers several alternative versions of the character (with an accent, ~, etc.) Simply hold down the key on the virtual keyboard and the alternative will appear. Slide your finger to the character that you would like to use. This feature can be seen using e, y, u, i, o, a, s, l, z, c, n and the period (.). Also, if you hold the “!” and “?” key, you will see the apostrophe and quotes appear. Very useful!

On the Numeric keyboard the -, $, &, . (period), ‘ and ” have this feature.
