Sure. It's the same for me. What I do - since the routing keys are just above the braille cells - is hold that finger a little lower so that it can also feel the Alert Dots. Also, of course, pressing the routing key takes just one finger so any other finger of that same hand can be resting on the cells. Alert Dots works by briefly putting the pattern into every single cell of the display. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://mielke.cc/xmother.html (Letter from a Feminist ex-Mother) _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
