Mario: Thanks for your quick response! Andre responded as follows: Mike, I think it no longer pulls up the preferences menu because it saved what we already have. For example, I no longer have to hit convex and concave keys to get a Grade 2 braille setting. No keys are getting stuck; I don't believe it's a hardware issue; it worked fine before. What keys do I use to scroll the display? Just the left rocker Bar and the space bar. I'm not sure what else he's referring to. I have to hit Button 3 almost every time I access a new page on a website in order for the left side of the screen to come up. Andre I have remote access to Andre's system, and could edit his preferences file.

The PowerBraille is likely around 20 years old. When I was using a PowerBraille 81, it sometimes had issues with keys getting stuck, especially the long keys above the display. Can you make sure that this doesn't happen? > 2.) Is there a way to build the SETLEFT command into the preferences > file > so that the next line of text always starts at the left? This is supposed to happen anyway. Which commands/keys does he use to scroll the display? And which screen reader is he using? BRLTTY on the console, or Orca? Basically, if he uses horizontal navigation the display will wrap around at the end of the line and go to the beginning of the next line. However, if he uses vertical navigation, the display will go to the next line but stay at the same vertical position. I also suggest reading the help file, so that you are familiar with the commands available: http://brltty.app/doc/KeyBindings/brl-ts-pb80.html -- CYa, ????? ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ This is a message digest of the BRLTTY mailing list.
