It makes sense, because the screen faces away from you. Think of it this way: to someone looking at the screen, where is the button. As you face it, it's, say, on your left. Once you turn it around to face away from you, so you can type braille, it's facing the other way. Now, the button is on the right to someone looking head-on at the screen (facing you as you type).
No matter what it says, though, you don't need to reverse anything. Your left index finger is still dot 1, your right pinky is still dot 6, and the other fingers are all also unchanged. Think of it like typing on a brill keyboard that happens to be hanging on your shoulder and is thus perpendicular to the floor; an odd position, but once you fix the dot assignments in your mind, one that quickly becomes familiar. > On Mar 17, 2015, at 12:43 PM, Dave Bahr <dcba...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi.
