Hi, actually the way Braille Sense runs multiple applications is very similar to Windows. Press F1 like your start menu, arrow to an application and press Enter. Now press F1 again and arrow to another application. Now to switch between the 2, press alt-tab like you do in Windows. This is f2 and f3 at the same time.
Hope this helps.
