Hello
I need someone with a Braille Window and JFW3.3 to help me confirm the
following.
The Braille Window has 5 cursor routing keys on the front edge of the
display. It also has 6 "Braille keypad" keys on the top of the display.
They are laid out like an old Perkins Brailler. These Braille keypad keys
are intended to be used to toggle certain functions, like 8 dot Braille and
the output mode. You can also chord in Braille characters. The Braille S
takes you to the start menu, Braille C copies to the clipboard, Braille D is
the equivalent to insert+F6 etc.
I thought it might be kind of slick to be able to enter text via the Braille
keypad. So I fired up the script manager...
Things were going my way until I discovered I couldn't do the Q.
The Braille Q is composed of 5 dots. It seems the Braille Window only
allows one to chord 4 keys at once. If this is the case, it is a terrible
deficiency, after all what's the point of cording in letters to call
functions or what ever, if some letters are off limits?
I need someone to help me confirm or hopefully disprove my findings. Here's
the easiest way I can think of to do this.
(note the numbers assigned to the Braille keypad keys do not correspond to
the numbers assigned to the Braille dots so don't be confused by the
numbers below.)
1. Assign the chord for the letter G (Braille keypad 2 3 4 & 5 to a JFW
Script. I use this combination for BrailleGrade2Translation, I think it is
the default.
2. After you have checked to see that this combo does what it's supposed
to, try and assign the chord for the Braille letter Q, Braille keypad 1 2 3
4 & 5, to another script. I use the SaySystemTime script to test with.
Did you get a message asking you if you wanted to replace the Braille keypad
2 3 4 &5 hot key which in my case is assigned to BrailleGrade2Translation?
I know it will take a few minutes to check this out, and I will be grateful
to anyone who helps.
Best regards
Gator
