Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Type 20A7 20A8 - Manual (Page 8)

Lay-flat mode
By default, Lay-flat mode is enabled. If Lay-flat mode is enabled, the Adaptive keys automatically change to
Lay-flat mode when you put your computer display to 180 degrees from the relative position of the keyboard.
Lay-flat mode provides a special set of Adaptive keys that are designed to help you share information on the
screen with a person sitting across from you or 90 degrees to your left or right.
For more information about how to use each mode, refer to the help information system of the Adaptive
Keyboard.
Features
The Adaptive Keyboard provides the following features:
Dynamic mode
The Adaptive Keyboard mode changes dynamically depending on certain computer states and when you
make certain applications active. For more information, refer to the help information system of the Adaptive
Keyboard.
Quick-access mode
Pressing and holding the Fn key initiates a quick-access feature that temporarily overrides the current
Adaptive Keyboard mode with Function mode. After you release the Fn key, the mode returns to the
previous mode.
Setting a Quick-access mode enables you to quickly display your desired mode of the Adaptive keys with no
need to switch among various modes. By default, Quick-access mode is set to display Function mode;
however, you can change the default setting of Quick-access mode.
Camera gestures
Camera gestures enable you to initiate certain functions through the use of gestures instead of using a
keyboard or mouse. Tap the Camera-gestures icon to turn on and turn off the camera-gestures function. If
the Camera-gestures icon is not visible, tap the Fn key to cycle to a mode that contains this icon.
Voice recognition
The voice-recognition feature enables you to initiate certain functions through the use of voice commands
instead of using a keyboard or mouse. Tap the Voice-recognition icon to turn on or turn off the
voice-recognition feature. If the Voice-recognition icon is not visible, tap the Fn key to cycle to a mode
that contains this icon.
Cloud
Tap the Cloud icon to open the predefined cloud application in the cloud settings.
