It kind of seems braille support on the Mac is a bit of an after thought. iOS works quite well. People have given feedback but it continues to be horrible. I just hope things improve in the next version of the OS. On 24/05/2016 6:41 AM, Walkaway Gucukoglu wrote: Hello Anne. Sorry for the la

Hello Kawal, Here’s a suggestion how to make it work. Position your left hand on the computer keyboard with your little finger on the Command key and your index finger on the letter ‘b’. Place your right hand on your Braille display. In this way, you only have to bring your left hand to your ri

Hello Helga, You can assign any combination of dots and other controls to any VO command, as long as the combination is not already used. You can also change the command associated with any combination of dots and controls. Cheers, Anne > On 21 May 2016, at 22:24, Helga Schreiber wrote: >
