This is Joseph. The auto-advance feature is present on JAWS since JAWS 6.0
You have to go to Braille settings on the Config manager to change this
setting. You can use Keyboard manager to change teh key assignments. There
are six keys on either side of the braille display. It is also present on
the PK units. The equivalent of Previous and Next thumb key is key number 3
and 6. I hope this information may help you.

Subject: [Braillenote] Some Brailliant questions
Hello, the staff at Humanware were kind enough to loan the Foundation For
Blind Children here in Phoenix a Brailliant for my looking over. I asked
if
they could get a unit here so that I could see if it would meet my needs
for
an upcoming job. My questions which couldn't be answered by the man
showing
it to me are: what is the purpose of the jack in front of the USB and
power
sockets? It felt like a headphone jack. While I was dismayed that it does
not have thumb keys, I suppose I'd get used to tapping the button to
advance
to the next line. I wonder though, why they set that as button five on the
right? When I'm reading, my left hand travels back to the left side of the
line when my right hand reaches the middle, so it's natural to tap a
button
on the left. I'm assuming that like all of the other braille displays I've
used, that I can custom configure these buttons to do exactly what and
where
I want by using the key define function in my screen reader, which happens
to be Jaws. Has anyone ever thought of a foot pedal to advance up and down
text, instead of thumb keys or buttons? Also, does this display have auto
advance like the Braille Note does? I never have gotten the auto advance
timed just right for my reading speed, but I'm just wondering. Is there a
carrying case which slips over the Brailliant to protect it while not in
use? That was another thing the man didn't know, as he hadn't been the one
to unpack it.
Thanks a lot.
Matthew
