Hi Teresa. I think a lot of people maybe don't realize that notetakers, such as aPacMate and the Braille Lite 40's and probably some others, allow to turn off dots 7 and 8 and still view in computer braille. I am hoping, please pretty please, that Apple will someday separate out the display of computer braille which allows us to read brf files from turning on and off dots 7 and 8. If this happened, the current toggle of chord-g that goes from contracted to uncontracted would need, I hope, to go between grade 1, grade 2, and computer braille. and dots 7 and 8 would just turn on and off the display of those dots.
