anybody know a complete list of all those shortcut/double tap/number commands? are those supposed to be secret? i don't recall anything about them in the owner's manual.

and what does the debug mode do?

in the battery toggle one, the names come up one after another, but how do indicate to the machine which one i want it to use? is it just the last one that comes up that's currently switched to?

Here's a complete list:

And yes, the battery mode you are in is the last one selected.

After examining the info at the previously mentioned link, I tried shortcut-dot-eight, which is supposed to invert the backlight. While it did place the text "[inverted backlight]" in the memo I was in, it did nothing to the actual backlight.

Has anyone else tried this? Have you gotten it to work? What exactly is it supposed to do?

The only actual documentation that I have been able to find on these dot-shortcuts is for developers use. Most of these shortcuts are only useful for developers.

Yes. When using . 7 the system changes battery type and displays what type it just changed to. The above referenced documentation does not mention that Rechargeable-Alkalines where added in PalmOS v3.1 (but not 3.2) and NiMH where added in PalmOS v3.3.

This was discussed long ago, and the consensus was that it just does not work on the Visor & Visor Deluxe. Have not heard if it works on the Visor Platinum.
