wp7 emulator tip of the day: Use your keyboard

I am frustrated not be able to use my keyboard to input text in the windows phone emulator.
So login into our XING-App was a funny task every day.

But there is a shortcut to activate the hardware keyboard in the emulator.
You can use Page-Up to activate the hardware keyboard and Page-Down activates the normal software keyboard. You are now able to use your keyboard on your development machine by  pressing Page-Up.  You also can tab between fields.

More shortcuts are:

• F1 - hardware back button
• F2 - Hardware home button
• F3 - Hardware search button

Hope this tip will help you as much as it helps me. No more frustration!
