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.

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. Thanks again and take care. On Oct 22, 2012, at 7:53 AM, Richard Turner wrote: > Yes, I saw that when Anna posted it yesterday.
