Indeed.  Surprising.  I think it's the flexibility offered by the keyboard; not 
obvious from touchscreen use.  Give up the notetaker, though?  Not quite yet - 
the braille output from KeySoft is really spectacular, despite headphone 
listening.

As for a new braille display, there's the money bit.  I will consider it, 
though, as it's clearly a potential all-in-one mainstream solution that won't 
have these kinds of issues.  QT preferences can and do change, as we have seen. 
:-)

I generally don't bother with blindness mailing lists of that volume; I have to 
process enough email traffic as it is, and I find the S2N ratio a bit too low 
for my liking.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

Cheers,
Sabahattin
