Hello Eleanor,

All the commands that are programmed into your Braille display show up in a 
table when you click the Assign Commands… button in the VoiceOver Utility, 
category Braille, Displays tab. You can add VoiceOver commands if you find that 
you need to. To find the table, just press VO-Down Arrow after clicking the Add 
button.

The Status cells give all kinds of information. Each dot has a function, and if 
you enable the Status cells, you can read about them when you press the router 
button above the cell. Dots 7 and 8 in the first cell show the direction in 
which panning can go on the current line. So, if both 7 and 8 are shown, you 
are somewhere in the middle of a line. If only dot 8 is shown, you’re at the 
beginning of the line so you can only move right.

Status cell 2 shows such things as bold, italic, underscore, etc.

I can’t remember what cell 3 does, but if you enable it, you can press the 
router button above it and read what it says.

I have a Focus 14 Blue, so I’m disinclined to use up 3 cells.

I don’t normally use my Focus 14 with my Mac, I got it for my iPhone, mostly 
for reading books. I use a Braillino with my Mac.

Cheers,

Anne
