Eileen,
I had to check out what the pan command does. Perhaps the Apex uses
it differently. For the Braille Sense (also a 32 cell display), it moves
by 32 items, not cells. My note taker is set to move by line using the
scroll buttons.
Might this act different when the display is connected to the Mac? I
too need to spend some time with the Edge and Mac.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for that explanation. When I reviewed the command list for the Apex,
the thumb buttons should pan the document to advance or go back to the
previous chunk of 32 cells, which is the total cells on the Apex. I'll have
to dig into this more when I have another amount of spare time to devote to
it. Thanks.
Eileen

Eileen,
Tho I am far from being a proficient user of a braille display (the
Braille Edge) with the Mac or iPhone, here is what I think may need to be
made clear.
The commands list in the VO guide is the list of "commom" commands that
can be used on any braille display. Most of these seem to work.
There is then a smaller list of commands that are specific to each
display, assigned to the device's own buttons such as the pan commands which
on the Edge are assigned to the scroll buttons.

Hello,
I just responded to Jason's post on this matter. When you suggested to
look at the mapping for the Apex in VO, where would I find this? I
would assume in VO utility in braille. Is that correct? When I had
either a Text Edit or iText Express document opened, the 2 inner keys
on the Apex interacted with the doc and the 2 outer ones stopped
interacting. Is this the way it should be acting? I do have Win 8.1
installed through bootcamp, so my best bet to use the Apex is through
either JAWS or WE. Currently, I only installed JAWS on the Mac Air,
but I'm getting pretty close in installing WE also. It's nice to have
a choice when attempting to use braille to navigate the computer.
Thanks for your suggestions and I look forward to further instructions on
where to find the mapping for the Apex.
Kind regards,
Eileen

Hi Eileen,
To be honest, braille on OS X is a bit substandard. As you can see,
it doesn't even quite work as designed in some text fields. I'd
encourage you to open the same document in TextEdit, for comparison.
Don't get your hopes up for anything like the quality of support from
the Windows screen readers, I'm afraid.
With regard to BrailleNote in particular, the best way to figure out
what all the keys do is to examine the mappings in VoiceOver Utility.
I changed the panning buttons to be the outer keys, and vertical
navigation to be the inner ones.
I hope you figure this out, but feel free to ask if you get stuck and
I'll try and recreate your issue.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
