No, it can also work with touch typing. This app-switcher-close-apps method has been around for a long time now.

It took me a little while to get the hang of it, but once I did, boy is it fast. Thanks for the suggestion. God bless!

Yes, if you sswipe down (or up) the action rotor is set to close and as you said it stays there so youcan double tap on multiple apps without having to swipe down each time. However, there is one exception and that is if you accidently touch on the very left where it says "Home". If your rotor is set to close and you touch home it will reset to "Activate Item" which is the default. Now, as far as closing apps after you set the rotor to close. You can double tap on apps as you explained, but if you have lots of apps to close you can also touch in the middle of the screen as the screen displays 3 items, home on the left and 2 apps, one in the middle and one on the right side of the screen. All other open apps are there but off the screen. Once you touch and hear the name of an app, you can just leave your finger on it and split tap, this will close the app and the app next to it will slide over and I guess you can say it will slide under your finger. Then you just tap again with another finger and so on. You can pretty much tap with your second finger as fast as you like without moving your first finger and close 10 or 20 apps in no time at all.

When I focus on a running app, I'm informed to do a 3-finger swipe up to close the app -- that works fine, but I've discovered a much more efficient method to close an app if there are a number of open apps you may wish to close at that time. Here's how to close a number of running apps quite efficiently: - press the HOME button twice to launch app switcher - focus on any given app you wish to close - execute a one-finger swipe down (should change action from default to close) - do a one-finger double tap to close this app - to close additional apps, simply focus on said app and do the one-finger double tap It seems that the one-finger swipe down changes the action for all apps from default (open) to close so do not tap an app you want to continue having open. ---- Holland's Boy, Bill - "Be careful about reading health books.
