Re: Braille and the Apple devices
Hi. Apple is falling a little back when it comes to keyboard commands on a braille keyboard. We have not got the search function yet as a braille keystroke. I think we need to sent apple a mail.

RE: Braille and the Apple devices
They do on the qwerty keyboards, I was just going through the practice to see if some odd combination had been assigned that task for the braille devices--obviously not yet.

Re: Braille and the Apple devices
Hi Rich, Apple doesn't currently provide a double-tap and hold keystroke. It is hoped they'll add it in a future software build.
