Vaughan,
I'm not exactly sure what you are expecting or wanting to do as far as
keypresses but I have a thought.
If you define a braille key to send say a shift right arrow and
continually hit that it will select a character at a time just as
hitting shift-right arrow would do from the keyboard. You could also
define a key to send control-shift-right arrow. When you press this
braille keystroke it will select a word at a time. You would just
define all the selection keys you plan on using. Does this do what you
are wanting?

*Subject:* Using Briale Display to Select Text
Hi all.
I find that direct text entry with my Braille Edge is easier than the
conventional qwerty keyboard, in part because I make fewer
typographical errors, and the display is positioned more conveniently.
I have been trying to generate a set of Braille hot keys which will
enable text to be selected in the same way that conventional
shift-arrow keys work.
I am not having much success. My shift key is assigned as "sticky
shift" and pressing/releasing this and then quickly pressing the
arrow keys does not wor. There is a hot key which allows for clearing
a sticky key, which might allow my preferred method to work, or for
the shift key to be pressed and held for the purposes of selecting
text prior to cutting or copying.
Does anyone have suggestions please? It seems to me that a double
press of the assigned sticky key could be used to unstick, but maybe I
have it all wrong!
Vaughan.
