Severity

Description

For applications like mail and Notes where iOS allows for Bluetooth keyboard shortcuts, you can also emulate he command key on a braille display with space and dots 1-7. If you wish to create a new email, for example, you could thus press space with dots 1-7 followed by n to use this shortcut on a display... No longer if you are using a Brailliant BI20X, BI40X, Chameleon, NLS E-Reader or BrailleONE. This does not impact users of the Mantis.

Steps to reproduce

Press the emulation keyboard command listed above followed by any of the letters involving the command. This happens when Humanware firmware version 2.0 is loaded on something that is paired to your iOS device.

Scott, thank you for posting this. I just got my e-reader last week and set it up earlier today. It's been ages since I used any sort of Braille display, but this is good info to know. I've just been reading through the Braille user guide which came in the box along with the device itself, and haven't done much if anything on said device.
