Hi Krister and all, 

Another thing I don’t like about braille support in OS X is not being able to 
separate the braille curser from the VoiceOver curser. 

In Windows one can view the braille curser independently of the JAWS curser or 
NVDA. 

With VoiceOver it moves in one big chunk. 

Yours truly,
