I have the opposite issue with my HandiTech Actilino: Bluetooth works wonderfully with my MacBook Air and iPhone 8, but there is no USB communication (although there was a few months ago). My current workaround is a micro card reader; it does what I need, so for now, that’s good enough. It is so

Hello Joe Using a focus 14 with your Mac is not count time-consuming once you get it paired. That's where I had the problem. You can use cord S to go to the menu. That will get you to the quit option you were talking about, if you want to use it that way. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 28, 2014,

Hello Joe, You can only assign VoiceOver commands to a Braille display, or to any commander for that matter. Cmd-q is a standard Mac command and not a VoiceOver command. Using a Braille display to drive your Mac, you’ll need to go into the menus and click the appropriate command. Cheers, Anne
