Do you mean the trackpad? My addition to the idea should address that. You would use your qwerty keys to input Braille. To recap, F, D, S, J, K, L would correspond to dots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; and a and the semicolon to 7 and 8. Of course, one could build upon that and introduce the chord concept first modeled by Blazy Engineering in their BnS products. The basis for the idea being the combination of the space key (or bar) with a Braille character to execute commands e.g. space-o (i.e. space together with dots 1, 3, and 5) to substitute for command (Apple) o for opening a file/folder; you get the idea. *smile* on the MacBook keyboard this would solve - at least in part - negotiating with the overly compactness of the keyboard as some might see it. it would certainly increase input speed and reduce error corollation as it were on the conventional qwerty keyboard. Worth a reminder that the existing qwerty layout was designed - the original design was in fact altered - in order to save early typewriters from fast typists who were apparently wrecking them with merciless dexterity. *smile* Comments, criticisms, suggestions, all welcome.
