Yes, all of the WindowEyes hot keys for the BN use the braille style keyboard.
Frankly, I wouldn't want to use my BN as a terminal and as a keyboard simultaneously. First of all, there would be conflicts between the pre-assigned hot keys and it would take too much time to change them and add the 26 hot keys for each letter of the alphabet. The only way to input text while you are in terminal mode is the keyboard on your PC. It really isn't hard to do. If you want to edit a document on your BN, you can exit terminal mode, open the file and edit it and then return to terminal mode. Any document on the PC must be edited using the PC keyboard.
