[gui-talk] braille display

[don bishop]

AS David pointed out, the way the display works is mostly a function of how the screen reader interfaces with it.

If the display has scrolling buttons and/or other controls which are supposed to move the display, you may need to define these as hot keys to the screen 
reader in order to get the buttons to  scroll within the screen or to move the actual pc cursor so you can scroll over screen boundaries.  

You can do this in window eyes under the braille options and hotkey definition menus.  

Many braille displays have hotkeys already defined to perform these functions, but newer displays may not have yet been added to the gw list of displays 
with preprogrammed hotkeys.  

Although the procedure is slightly different, jfw also allows for the defining of controls on a braille display to serve as hotkeys.  

In the case of window eyes, read the chapter of the window eyes manual having to do with the setting of braille options and the defining of hotkeys in 
particular.

How the display behaves in large part is a function of the screen reader driving it, so your beef is really with GW Micro, not HumanWare.

end with it.
