Glad it worked. If you search google for "ios braille commands", you can find the official list of braille commands. If any use a keystroke that the bn already uses, such as space-e, space-h, or space-o, hit enter with 4 5 6 before pressing the keystroke. This will tell keysoft to ignore the keystroke you are about to enter. For example, to scroll right a page, the command is space-o. The apex will enter the options menu if you hit this, though. You must first hit that enter-4-5-6 command, then space-o, to have the keystroke passed through. Hope this made sense.
Also, here are the thumbkey commands specific to the apex. I will use thumb1 through thumb4, just as iOS's keyboard help will. Thumb1 is on the left, and thumb4 is on the right. thumb1-thumb2: backspace thumb3-thumb4: enter thumb2-thum3: home thumb1-thumb4: toggle screen curtain On 2/19/12, Keith Christian <[email protected]> wrote: > Okay, leaving the Apex in terminal mode was the problem...
