Re: Questions using a braille display

2018-10-26 Thread Scott Davert 
Hi Don.
You can find an official generic list of commands on Apple's website:
http://wild.link/apple/AIL1Bg
For whatever reason, Apple did not map the wizwheels to any commands.
With iOS 12, though, you may be able to map your own if you want. I'm
not sure, since I no longer have access to the first Focus 40. You may
also find the below link of value. You can skip past the pairing steps
obviously, but may find some of the other info helpful.
https://applevis.com/guides/idevice-primer-109-braille
You will also find links to other resources in this guide. I created
it several years back, but keep it updated.

Hope this helps,
Scott

“chord” is a term used in this case to mean that you press the spacebar along 
with the other keys indicated. So, space with dots 1 and 3. The term “chord” is 
from the old Braille Lite days.

Use the Panning buttons – which are the leftmost and rightmost buttons on the 
front face of the display – to move between lines (as you would if using it 
with your computer). The WhizWhewels do nothing in iOS. (They are an FS 
invention which, regrettably, FS/Vispero have ditched.)

in iOS, use dots 1=-3 chord to activate VoiceOver Help, and press any key on

Space-Bar plus dot 5 should move you one display width to the right, I think
