Hi,
To get to one-handed mode, press backspace while switching on and
press enter while switching on to get back to two-handed mode. I
personally don't use one-handed mode very much, occasionally when
I'm trying to do a couple of things at once or when really
necessary. I tried it once last year when I jammed two of my
fingers in a car door on my left hand. That took quite a bit of
healing and I couldn't read properly for quite some time. I
tried typing, but couldn't do it properly, so I decided to try
the one-handed mode. While I appreciate the mode, I must say it
was difficult in typing, it was much slower so I didn't use it
that much. I'm much better at reading braille with 2 hands
instead of one. The braille felt funny on my jammed fingers at
the time. I couldn't even make sense of it. Oh well. These
things unfortunately happen. I'm back to using two-handed mode
and back to making much more sense with braille! Personally,
one-handed is great for things like taking a quick note, but it
is challenging for writing long documents. For example, I didn't
use that mode while taking notes in lectures. The lectures were
recorded for everyone in the class
so that was handy and I used the recordings in taking notes when
my hand recovered.

Subject: [Braillenote] One-handed mode
Hi,
I was wondering: what exactly is the purpose of one-handed mode?
How do you get to it? How do you switch back to two-handed mode?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Jasmine
