Yes, that is precisely how it should be done. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Van Der Walt Riana Sent: Friday, May 28, 2004 1:41 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] taking notes at high speed
As everyone does not have a problem with pressing a chord accidentally, I suggest that if PDI want to address the problem, the best would be to add the option to have chord keys switched on or off via the options menu, but I suggest that the default should be that it's set to on, as everyone must use them often if you have a bt.

I was wondering if there would be a place to put a special chord key, that would make it easily reachable, but not a key that's used for other things like the spacebar is. I can't think of where that hypothetical key could be placed though. I picture it on the front by the thumbkeys, but there's really no room. Still, if there was a place that a special chord key could be easily accessed and the user could hit that key and the appropriate other keys, instead of the spacebar and other keys, it might help people avoid the problem many have reported of being bounced out of documents or moved to another position in documents. Hmmmm, I wonder if an option could be added to the thumbkey option to make them be chord keys instead of doing what they normally do. I know for myself I almost never use the previous and next thumbkeys. If I were one who had a problem with accidental chords, I might like to have the option of using one of these as a chord key. Just brainstorming as I type, wondering if there's a solution to this situation. Peggy At 03:34 PM 5/27/2004 -0500, you wrote: >No, this is not possible.
