Re: When something else has control of my onscreen keyboard
Guys, you just enlightened me on something I didn't know, and I've been using IOs and braille displays for as long as it was supported. I can't believe i missed this, and will have to try it. Out of curiosity if you have a bluetooth keyboard conected and need the onscreen keyboard, what is the ejet command on a regular keyboard. I'll be trying this with my rereshabraille soon.

RE: When something else has control of my onscreen keyboard
I've seen three or four bluetooth keyboards and they all seem to have a dedicated eject key, or really a key that toggles between using the blue tooth keyboard and the on-screen keyboard. I know the Apple and the AmazonBasics both use the upper right most key for this. It seems that the Targus keyboard I saw also was in the upper right but I wouldn't swear to that. I also saw a LogicTech Solar keyboard and I know it had a key to toggle the on-screen keyboard, but I don't recall where it was.

Ok, I suggest you find that app which is a bluetooth toggle that goes on the home screen. So Home key to pop out of what you're doing, click the bluetooth off, use the app switcher to get back in to what you were doing and type normally I would think.

RE: When something else has control of my onscreen keyboard
So, Raul, did you remember what the braille command is for this? I've never seen one. Richard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A.

It works for both qwerty keyboards and braille keyboards. I don't know why it's called eject, but basically when you press the eject keys, it brings up the onscreen keyboard despite a hardware keyboard already being connected. -- Raul A.

His question said I'm far enough away from the device that has control that I don't want to move to get it, but I want to type.

When something else has control of my onscreen keyboard
Listers is there a tap or something I can do when another device has my onscreen keyboard. For example my braille display or wireless keyboard. I find this happens allot and I'm far enough away from the device that has control that I don't want to move to get it, but I want to type. What a man to do? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: When something else has control of my onscreen keyboard
There is nothing to do with a braille display, but if it is a QWERTY keyboard, the upper right most key is usually the hide or unhide keyboard key. On the Apple wireless keyboard and the AmazonBasics, that is the key. I wish there was a way on braille displays other than turning them off.

Re: When something else has control of my onscreen keyboard
Hi, I thought that there was an eject cord command for Braille displays. I'd suggest opening the keyboard help when you have the display connected and type out various cord commands. I bet that if there is an eject one, it will do what is asked in this thread. I just don't remember what that cord command is since I no longer have a Braille display. However I used to be able to do it from the Braille Sense paired with the iPhone. -- Raul A. Gallegos Chuck Norris was born May 6, 1945. The Nazis surrendered May 7, 1945. Coincidence?

Re: When something else has control of my onscreen keyboard
I think what he was asking though is if there is a way with just the IPhone in hand to release the other device from having the keyboard so that he can get back his on screen keyboard without having to reach for the device such as a braille display or bluetooth keyboard that has the on screen keyboard locked away in a hidden state. I think the only way to do what I just described and tried to make clear is to go and turn off bluetooth. That may or may not have other consequences not wanted at that time, but I think that is the only option in the situation described. Jim On 10/20/12, Raul A.

Re: When something else has control of my onscreen keyboard
Not true, the eject function does what he asked. It works for both qwerty keyboards and braille keyboards. I don't know why it's called eject, but basically when you press the eject keys, it brings up the onscreen keyboard despite a hardware keyboard already being connected. -- Raul A. Gallegos Apparently #2 pencils are the most popular, so then why are they still #2?
