Thanks, Pete and Devon. I suppose that since I would also be using something on 
Mac and an iOS device, that on the iOS device I can’t make that switch. So it 
might pay to leave it alone so as not to become totally confused when switching 
devices. The reason for this question is going to go back to the new Qbraille 
device, which has a standard complement of Qwerty type control keys on it’s 
braille display with the braille input keys. You can supposedly use it on a Mac 
or an iOS device, but in order to do so, you have to use the windows keys. And 
they say this can be done. But they don’t talk about altering anything in there 
manual. I therefore suppose that to do the VO keys, you would have to do the 
equivalent of control and alt on this keyboard.
