Someone with more technical expertise will probably be able to offer a better solution, but if you copy the code indicators to the clipboard and then delete its contents, this should solve the problem.

Hope this helps!

Subject: [Braillenote] Getting Rid of Unwanted Code Indicators

Hi all.  Can anyone tell me if there is a way of getting rid of
unwanted code indicators? Here is what I mean: I went to paste in
some grade 2 Braille I'd saved to the clipboard into an email,
but instead pasted in an email address in computer Braille.  This
happened because the address wouldn't automatically come up when
entering it in the "to" field so I copied it from the address
list.  I forgot that I hadn't yet pasted the grade 2 Braille I
wanted to paste.  Consequently, there was a grade 0 indicator,
then the email address and then another grade 2 indicator.  I
deleted the email address but the indicators remained.  Nothing I
did, either backspace or backspace with dot 2, would get rid of
them.  Instead, I ended up having to re-write part of the email.

I have come across this before when writing out German to english
and vise versa.  The Braille display becomes so crowded with code
indicators that it looks a real mess and slows the reading
process down.  I don't mind if they're necessary but if there's
nothing in between them and they won't disappear, they're a real
nuisance.

Any advice for how to delete them?

Thanks.
