I'm afraid I don't get it. Exactly what are these keys, and what
do they do? What are the advantages?

Subject: [Braillenote] Soft keys, What an idea!
Hi folks,
I realize this is a bit of a dream, but here it goes.
On many cell phones, there is a concept in use called "soft keys"
There are
two or more keys on the phone which change function based on user
prefferences, or based on what the phone is doing at the time.
Most often,
the function of the key is displayed on the screen. It is spoken
by speech
software installed.
Wouldn't it be great if this functionality could be given to the
bn,
maximizing the use of the entire display?
Just a thought, but what if the cursor routing keys, or possibly
the braille
keys on the BT, could act as soft keys, performing what ever
action is
displayed in braille on the display.
For example a file actions display, "press the soft key to
perform the
action" print, save, delete, translate, all on the display at
once, a block
commands display, Top Bottom Delete, Move Copy Append.
Or a "preset" display for the FM radio. Press the softkey above
the preset
you want to listen to.
Just a crazy idea!
Rusty
