Based on a quick review of the Web site, the Vario 340 is one of those classic
designs from Baum, where there is no braille keyboard, but there are six
"display keys" to the right and left of the display itself.
I suspect that Apple might not have updated everything that they need to in
order to support it fully. It has a USB Type C port, which suggests it's a
relatively recent design.
I would also expect Linux and BRLTTY to work well with it.

Hi Anders,
Pete is correct, the standard chord-commands do work. I strongly recommend
that you spend a lot of time with the Manual for this display. It's a great
display, but it's a bit complicated to learn.
To the left of the spacebar, going from left to right, you will find the
following keys: S1 S2 B9. To the right, again going from left to right, you'll
find: B0, S3, and S4.
Best,
Donna

them listed in the VO Utility. Also, I’m pretty sure that most of the commands
involving the space keys will work the same as on other displays. I have a
VarioUltra 20, and the space commands work fine. I’m not familiar with the 340,
how many Braille cells does it have? Just curious. Let me know if you have any
other questions. I’ve only had my Ultra for about two months, but I do love it.
