True duys, but I know I can get to the menu with my braille display. I c' remember how to do it on a Focus 40 although I had one. Can anyone remember what the braille keyboard command is for going to the menu and using left and right arrows. I found that useful when I was somewhat away from my computer. On my Braille Edge, it has some keys on it that will bring up Spotlight and the menus and the dock. That may help some. For instance, space dd sign will bring up the dock. Space question mark will let you interact and space low j will stop interacting. Do you have a list of braille key commands that are already in place?
