Thanks a lot. Very illuminating! And I agree: for further questions I’ll drop you a private message because we went off topic. ;-) Jürgen > Am 27.05.2019 um 19:07 schrieb B G : > > N.B. is short for Nota Bene which literally means 'note well' in Latin > and it is used to draw the reader's atten

Re: To Add to the idea

N.B. is short for Nota Bene which literally means 'note well' in Latin and it is used to draw the reader's attention to the line that it precedes. You said something about German systems being well designed albeit overly complex and I was reminded of the well-known German car brand, Mercedes for up

Re: To Add to the idea

:-) What means "N.B.“ in long form? „fun not funny“ Thanks for the clarification. I’m not really aware of the differents but always eager to learn. Is funny not just the adjective of fun? Yes, braille without contractions is what german blind braille users on Apple devices use all the time. But

Re: To Add to the idea

N.B. Mercedes cars. *smile* Just for clarity, and forgive me for the apparent pedantry, I think you mean 'fun' and not 'funny'. maybe a simplified Braille code for German would address the above-mentioned et al. I have heard of systems which are entirely in long-hand i.e. with no contraction; not s

Re: To Add to the idea

In my Windows time there was a german program for this called BKCom. Never liked it very much because writing braille on these smal keyboard keys wasn’t very funny. I wouldn’t need to write braille on a normal keyboard. But anyway there might be a group of people who really would appreciate this

Re: To Add to the idea

Good point. How about having a hotkey toggle for switching in an out of Braille input mode? Say, VO with some key or another to turn on Braille and a chorded shortcut to switch back to the qwerty layout. You can't use more than one keyboard at a time in any case. I was under the impression that Ge

Re: To Add to the idea

I’d personally prefere only a solution via the Trackpad. I’d like to keep both input methods simultaniously usable, normal keaboard via the Keyboard and braille keyboard via Trackpad. Otherwise what’s the benefit changing keyboard layout of the normal keyboard? Especially because contracted brai

Re: To Add to the idea

Hi! That’s a great one. But i seldom type in braille. Although i read it on the mac and there has to be changes to the hole braille support on the mac i think. /A > 27 maj 2019 kl. 12:48 skrev B G : > > One could have some of the qwerty keys turned into Braille input keys > - similar to the the

To Add to the idea

One could have some of the qwerty keys turned into Braille input keys - similar to the the idea originally introduced by Duxbury in the 90's. Thus, your f, d, s, j, k, l keys would map to dots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and the a and ; (semicolon) keys to dots 7 and 8. What do we think? Ben -- The follow
