The shift key is at the lower left corner of the keyboard, last key on the left on the bottom row. The symbols key is 2 keys in from the left of the big square navigation button. If you touch the bottom left corner of the square button, and move to the left, you find the delete key and the symbols key directly to the left of it.

Tim, I understand there's supposed to be a hotkey to turn TTS on without having to go into the page preferences menu. According to the podcast I just listened to, the hotkey is supposed to be symbols and space. Does this work for you or anyone else reading this? I've tried holding down the symbols key and then pressing the space bar as well as hitting the symbols key followed by the space bar but neither method seems to do the trick. Is this info accurate and if so has anyone gotten this to work? Thanks.

Yes it does. I use those navigation features a lot. The only time you have to turn text to speech off is when you're moving back or forward through pages, but otherwise those navigation features work with speech on. Hope that helps.
