Eileen,
Tho I am far from being a proficient user of a braille display (the
Braille Edge) with the Mac or iPhone, here is what I think may need to
be made clear.
The commands list in the VO guide is the list of "commom" commands
that can be used on any braille display. Most of these seem to work.
There is then a smaller list of commands that are specific to each
display, assigned to the device's own buttons such as the pan commands
which on the Edge are assigned to the scroll buttons.
Quote of the nanosecond . . .

like a lady, How to think like a man, And how to work like a dog.

Hello,
I just responded to Jason's post on this matter. When you suggested to look
at the mapping for the Apex in VO, where would I find this? I would assume
in VO utility in braille. Is that correct? When I had either a Text Edit or
iText Express document opened, the 2 inner keys on the Apex interacted with
the doc and the 2 outer ones stopped interacting. Is this the way it should
be acting? I do have Win 8.1 installed through bootcamp, so my best bet to
use the Apex is through either JAWS or WE. Currently, I only installed JAWS
on the Mac Air, but I'm getting pretty close in installing WE also. It's
nice to have a choice when attempting to use braille to navigate the
computer. Thanks for your suggestions and I look forward to further
instructions on where to find the mapping for the Apex.
Kind regards,
Eileen

Hi Eileen,
To be honest, braille on OS X is a bit substandard. As you can see, it
doesn't even quite work as designed in some text fields. I'd encourage you
to open the same document in TextEdit, for comparison. Don't get your hopes
up for anything like the quality of support from the Windows screen readers,
I'm afraid.
With regard to BrailleNote in particular, the best way to figure out what
all the keys do is to examine the mappings in VoiceOver Utility. I changed
the panning buttons to be the outer keys, and vertical navigation to be the
inner ones.
I hope you figure this out, but feel free to ask if you get stuck and I'll
try and recreate your issue.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
