Hi, I didn't think you could have bold, italic, ETC when using plain text. After all, isn't it plain? maybe you are thinking rich text which would have that. Some apps which claim to be plain text apps support this, but that's not plain text to me. I think the only thing you can change when usi

Hi, I like Nebulous. You can read continuously whether you're in read or edit mode, you can easily switch between two documents, and if you use the Search command, the found text appears on your braille display. You have to be sure the SEarch option is on the toolbar so it's easy to access, but
