Hi, Sure- you can do that. To change the thumb-key layout, go to Options Menu/Braille Options. Then press SPACE until you see "thum-key set". Press C for custom then press ENTER. The next four prompts will allow you to set the thumb-key layout to suit your preferences: * Previous: moves the display up by sentence, line or paragraph and is also used to exit a menu. * The back key is used to pan the display to the left. * The advance key is used to pan the display to the right. * The next key is used to move down by line, sentence or paragraph and is used to select an item from a list. In my case, I prefer to leave the thumb-key set to default layout (mostly because I was used to shorter display length). Cheers, Joseph

I'm still awaiting the arrival of my apex, but had another question. When I was playing around with one, I noticed that the thumb key to advance the display is actually not the one that's furthest to the right--it's the secodn one in. Is there any way that the right-most key can be used to advance the display? to me, it would make sense to have the right-most key advance the display, as your hand would automatically be there when you're reading the end of a braille line? am I missing something? did anyone else find this a bit counter-intuitive? I know I'd likely get used to it, but am wondering if I was the only one who thought it was a bit unusual. Take care, -Shermeen ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
