Subject: RE: [Braillenote] external QT keyboard
Hi, I have just brought an external keyboard to go with my Pk.
It is a roll up keyboard and once it is rolled up it isn't much
bigger then the Pk. I got it because there maybe times that I
want to or need to have my Pk but want to write on a normal
keyboard because I am faster on that and I still have to
concentrate on my braille where I know my typing without
thinking.
From Shaz.

Hi Tom and list,
According to my own experiments, it seems that USB QWERTY
keyboard is useful
in numerous situations, including:
* Learning the QT equivalent of a BT command
* Jump directly to a task with a single command
* Compose documents faster
And so forth.
Here are some QWERTY keyboard commands equivalent to that of QT:
* Left Alt: READ
* Right Alt: FN (or Function)\* CTRL: CTRL
* TAB: TAB
* F1: HELP Key
* F2: REPEAT Key
* F3: MENU Key (used to go to Main Menu)
* F4: KeyWord
* F5: KeyPlus
* F6: KeyPlan
* F7: KeyList
* F8: KeyMail
* F9: KeyBook
* F10: KeyWeb (under some keyboards, if the command does not
work, press FN
with F10)
* F11 and F12: change speech rate (if I'm right)
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi,
Now that's an interesting idea. I'll try that out witn my BN
BT32 and see
how it goes. If it works as you describes, I can do that when I
want to
brush up on QT commands, as I have to train people on both BT's
and QT's on
occasion as part of my work.

Dear List,
I tried an experiment today. I plugged my usb keyboard into the
BN to see
how the MP would behave. I was quite happy with the way it
worked.
You're
probably asking yourself, "Why would she want to plug in an
external
keyboard when the unit is a QT model? Well, I figured if the
English
keyboard would work then a foreign language keyboard should
work, too. I
also thought it would be easier to write a foreign language with
a larger
keyboard and it was.
Here is how the keys behave. The alt key behaves like the
function key
when
you need to access the unicode tables and the macros. It's much
easier to
press alt x and alt c on an external keyboard than it is on the
Bn's
QWERTY
keyboard. The function keys at the top of the external keyboard
take you
from task to task with one keystroke: f3 help, f4 word
processor, f5
calculator and so on.
When braille is required, the home row on the external works
just the same
as the home row on the BN's keyboard. Plus, the BN's keyboard
is not
disabled when an external keyboard is plugged in.
There may be times when those of you who have BT keyboards might
find it
advantageous to plug in an external QWERTY keyboar, especially
if you're
not
hep on writing in computer braille. Foreign languages are
easier because
(1) your fingers don't get tangled up (2) you can turn on
numlock hold
down
the alt key and write the numeric value of a unicode character
and (3) you
can use the two alt keys, whereas the BN has only one function
key.
I also discovered that if you press alt i, the BN will speak a
sentence.
Anyway, I thought this might be interesting to some of you.
