Hi Joe 
I think all you really need is a list of commands. I may have missed something 
here, but what braille display do you have? Some of them have sections in their 
manuals that give a list of commands for IOS and sometimes for the Mac. A lot 
of the IOS braille commands work on the Mac. My Braille Edge 40 has a list like 
that.
