With the BT, the keyboard navigation commands to move by paragraph are SPACE with dots 5-6 to move forward or SPACE with dots 2-3 to move back. As far as making the thumb keys move by paragraph, and these would be the PREVIOUS and NEXT thumb keys, that's done through the Options Menu>Braille Display Options settings. You'll have to access them from, for example, a document as opposed to the Main Menu where the setting in question wouldn't appear because it's not applicable there. Anyway, you would hit SPACE with O, then B. In Braille Display Options, SPACE until you see the "Function of PREVIOUS and NEXT Thumb Keys?" option. It's set by default to "Up and Down", meaning every press of them moves you back or forward a line (depending on what key you are pressing) but keeping the cursor in the same column position. Anyway, you want "Paragraph", so hit P, ENTER to accept, and exit with SPACE with E. Now, the PREVIOUS and NEXT thumb keys will move you by paragraph. With the default, right-handed set of thumb keys, the PREVIOUS thumb key is the one on the outer left and the NEXT thumb key is on the outer right (although the set can be changed in the Braille Display Options).
