RE: Double Tap and Hold Using a Braille Display
Hi, Aman, Thank you very much for the excellent information that you have provided so far. I understand that there are bound to have been changes since you wrote your original instructions, but they have certainly given me a clear idea of how to go about the process. I may not have time to do any serious work on this for a few days, but I've saved your information and I'll get to it ASAP. I think it has great potential and I also plan to reassign some of the BrailleNote Apex thumb keys - it appears that this should be perfectly feasible according to your instructions. Meanwhile, if you do have a chance to provide any updates or, for example, further information on the Find command, it would be extremely useful. Thanks again for all your help and hard work, Nicky -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Aman Singer Sent: 20 April 2013 15:22 To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Double Tap and Hold Using a Braille Display Sorry, Nicola, I forgot to deal with your request about the find command.

Re: Double Tap and Hold Using a Braille Display
Hi, Nicola. I will do my best to send out a description as to how this should be done soon. In the mean time, however, I did, some years ago now, write a description of how to modify the commands. This is a bit out of date now, I think, but may still be of use https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!topic/viphone/5hHHgVzWEOk will find it. The command descriptor for double tap and hold is, I think, SimulateLongPress but you will probably want to check that with the keyboard file, I am relying on the organic solid state drive which, like its silicon counterpart, sometimes tends to lose information.

Re: Double Tap and Hold Using a Braille Display
Good morning, Sarah. Sadly, the answer to your question is a no. Clearly, they can make a keyboard equivalent, so I'm not quite sure why they have yet to create a braille display keyboard equivalent. Perhaps in iOS 7? LOL. Actually, I think Apple has a bit more of a serious issue to work on in that they need to fix the way VoiceOver no longer handles headings properly, so this may get put on the back burner for awhile. Maybe, and this is a crazy idea I have, they could fix both. LOL.

Sadly, the answer to your question is a no. Clearly, they can make a keyboard equivalent, so I'm not quite sure why they have yet to create a braille display keyboard equivalent. Perhaps in iOS 7? LOL. Actually, I think Apple has a bit more of a serious issue to work on in that they need to fix the way VoiceOver no longer handles headings properly, so this may get put on the back burner for awhile. Maybe, and this is a crazy idea I have, they could fix both. LOL.

Re: Double Tap and Hold Using a Braille Display
Hi, Sarah. The functionality is not available unless you jailbreak and edit the files yourself. If you want instructions on doing that, let me know and I'll try to write up a set over the weekend. I suspect, but cannot, of course, be sure, that Apple will get to this at some point, there is no problem in doing it on most displays at least, I'm not quite sure why Apple has chosen not to do it in the current releases.

Re: Double Tap and Hold Using a Braille Display
You can write up code for commands with braille displays once your device is jailbroken? If that is true, then I need to get jailbreaking. LOL.

RE: Double Tap and Hold Using a Braille Display
I did jailbreak my phone once, but it appeared to be less stable and the status bar reported that it was in safe mode, even after a few reboots. I don't know if this is normal behavior for a jailbroken phone, but I just felt safer putting it back in jail. Having said that, I'm considering jailbreaking again when I learn more about what to expect from a jailbroken phone and what the advantages are. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Davert Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2013 12:51 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Double Tap and Hold Using a Braille Display You can write up code for commands with braille displays once your device is jailbroken?

Re: Double Tap and Hold Using a Braille Display
Hi, Scott. I'm not quite sure what you mean by write up code, but what you can do is modify commands for each key. That is, you can, as I said, make a braill display button perform a function, changing its original function to the one you want. I am using the button on the front of the refreshabraille to do the double tap and hold, it was a back button before, but there is already a back command, so this was redundant. Note that there are quite a few commands which are redundant on many displays.
