Hi, all, Tom, you can select text without pinching, but it does have to be in an edit field. You go to the edit option in the rotor while in the edit field, then double-tap the screen while on "select".
Annie and Mario, I think we'll have to make suggestions to Apple regarding Braille. Some of the commands have been changing and being discontinued. The dots 2-3-6 space command is now for toggling between !- and "comdot Braille, for example. Braille is not used by much of the blind population. This is simply a fact. In developing Braille as an option for an off-the-shelf product, these things are going to happen. Suggesttions to Apple will help. I'm pretty confident of this. However, different users have different priorities, and I'm sure that one or the other may have won out over another feature that has been removed or changed.
