Yes it is. I thought the same thing, but it turns out that space-1-4-6 shows and hides the onscreen keyboard. There's also an option for the same thing on bluetooth keyboards if the user can read braille but is better at typing on a qwerty keyboard. On 9/9/12, Eugenia Firth gigifi...@me.com

Um, well, put simply... nothing. True, hooking a display up to an iOS device hides the onscreen keyboard, but in iOS6 I hear they will offer a way to show it. Also, you get a buffer of past messages. Basically, a program any decent coder could put together in, say a few days? Someone correct me if

In many cases, the keyboard is hidden by default when an external device is connected. However, it sometimes gets in the way when I'm using the Braille display. The Braille shows labeled buttons with the letters, which obscures part of what I want to read. Teresa On Sep 8, 2012, at 3:42 PM,
