Help for Braille Star 80 There are two navigation keys, one at the left end and one at the right end of the braille line. Each has a top, middle, and bottom position. These six positions are called: LT LM LB RT RM RB LM Go left one window. RM Go right one window. LM RM Go to the cursor. LT Move cursor up one line. LB Move cursor down one line. RT Go up one line. RB Go down one line. RM LT Go to the top-left corner. RM LB Go to the bottom-left corner. LM RT Go up to the top line. LM RB Go down to the bottom line. LT RT Go up to the nearest line with different content. LT RB Go down to the nearest line with different content. LB RT Go up to the nearest line with different highlighting. LB RB Go down to the nearest line with different highlighting. These keys may also be used in conjunction with the routing keys as follows: LT Rn Start new cut buffer from character. LM Rn Enter function key. LB Rn Append to cut buffer from character. RT Rn Linear cut to character. RM Rn Switch to virtual terminal. RB Rn Rectangular cut to character. In input mode, the ten front keys, from left to right, are: D7 D3 D2 D1 LS RS D4 D5 D6 D8 The Dn keys are the eight braille dots numbered according to their conventional layout. Pressing any combination of them inputs the corresponding character. The LS and RS keys are the left and right spacebars. Pressing just the left spacebar inputs a space, and pressing just the right spacebar enters a return. When pressed together with any combination of the dot keys, the left spacebar represents the control key, and the right spacebar represents the meta key. In navigation mode (the default), the ten front keys, from left to right, are: B1 B2 B3 B4 UP DN B5 B6 B7 B8 Movement Commands: UP go left one window DN go right one window B1 go to cursor B1 UP go to left end of line B1 DN go to right end of line B2 go to top-left corner B2 UP go to top line B2 DN go to bottom line B3 go to last motion B3 UP go left half window B3 DN go right half window B6 UP go left one character B6 DN go right one character B4 go up one line B5 go down one line B4 b1 go up to last line of previous paragraph B5 b1 go down to first line of next paragraph B4 b2 go up to previous command prompt B5 b2 go down to next command prompt B4 b3 go up to previous line containing cut buffer B5 b3 go down to next line containing cut buffer B4 b6 go up to nearest line with different highlighting B5 b6 go down to nearest line with different highlighting B4 b7 go up several lines B5 b7 go down several lines B4 b8 go up to nearest line with different content B5 b8 go down to nearest line with different content Modes and Features: b8 toggle help mode B8 B1 toggle cursor tracking B8 B2 toggle show cursor B8 B3 toggle show attributes B8 B6 toggle frozen screen B8 B7 toggle alert tunes B7 toggle six-dot braille B7 B1 toggle preferences menu B7 B2 load saved preferences B7 B3 save preferences B7 B6 toggle info mode B6 toggle display attributes B6 B1 toggle skip identical lines B6 B2 toggle skip blank windows B6 B3 toggle sliding window Routing Key Commands: Rn bring cursor to character B1 Rn bring left end of window to column B2 Rn describe character B3 Rn append to cut buffer from character B4 Rn start new cut buffer from character UP Rn go up to line not indented more than column DN Rn go down to line not indented more than column B5 Rn rectangular cut to character B6 Rn linear cut to character B7 Rn set mark B8 Rn go to mark Keypad Commands: B9 speak above B10 say current line B11 speak below B12 stop speaking 0 go to last speech position B13 switch to previous virtual console B14 switch to next virtual console 7 toggle learn mode 8 go to previous item in menu 9 go to first item in menu 4 change value of current item in menu to previous choice 5 save current preferences 6 change value of current item in menu to next choice 1 present preferences menu 2 go to next item in menu 3 go to last item in menu 0 7 home key 0 8 up arrow key 0 9 page up key 0 4 left arrow key 0 6 right arrow key 0 1 end key 0 2 down arrow key 0 3 page down key 0 B13 insert key 0 B14 delete key (for these: 0=10, B13=11, B14=12) B9 1-12 set mark B10 1-12 go to mark B11 1-12 switch to virtual console B12 1-12 function key Miscellaneous Commands: UP DN paste cut buffer at cursor position B2 B3 UP stop speaking B2 B3 DN say current line B1 B8 UP switch to navigation mode (the default) B1 B8 DN switch to input mode
