1) With the rotor you can only navigate by character, word, and line. However, dots 1 3 5 chord with space bar scrolls right one page; dots 2 4 6 chord scrolls left one page; dots 1 4 5 6 chord scrolls up one page; and dots 3 4 5 6 chord scrolls down one page. In most circumstances, page equals screen.
2) Single finger double tap on the active edit field moves the cursor/focus to the beginning and the end of the active field. On my RefreshaBraille 18, pressing the joystick like a button activates the single finger double tap. Dots 1 3 chord places you in keyboard help. You can then press any buttons or combinations and VO will announce the function. Pressing dots 1 2 chord ends keyboard help. 3) Not that I know of. 4) When a word is misspelled and you receive the sound, do a single finger right flick to find the first suggestion. Continue flicking through the suggestions. In text messages, corrections sometimes appear before the text message (left flick rather than right flick). If you place the cursor at the end of a misspelled word using a cursor routing button, sometimes the misspelled words will be signified. Unfortunately, there are no notification marks like underline of each misspelled word. Sometimes I need to press space followed by dot 7 chord (backspace) to get the suggested words to pop up.
