Hum, OK, for my tests I'm using a braille connect 32. As far as the delete goes, it's not possible in SL to perform a delete or a backspace or a carriage return from any braille display. I was able to assign all the navigation keys for paragraphs, words, sentences and such. There's also an assignable command to bring up the context menu. So, anything that's in the context menu such as copy, paste, and spelling suggestions can be accessed directly from the braille display.
I was able to assign commands just fine with a focus blue, but I've never tried it with the classic focus. If you email me exactly what you were trying to assign and what steps you took, I might be able to spot something. Best, Erik Burggraaf This month in Ebony Promos: Two new gps systems for demo.
