Hi all.
I was briefly playing around with connecting my NLS eReader, the Humanware one in case that matters, to my Mac as a braille display. From reading about braille on iOS I remember that dots one and four chord move like arrows.
However, on the desktop, if I did chord one, Voiceover would say "Macintosh HD", but the display would read "batteries widget". On the keyboard I would just use VO-right to get back to Mac HD and then probably the arrows alone if I wanted to move through the stuff on thedesktop.
If I wanted to get into the batteries widget, I'd interact with VO-down and move around in it with VO-arrows. But I realized I have no idea what the equivalent of down arrow would be, for example. I did a search and didn't readily see a guide.
is there one? If not, anybody have tips? What I mean is, not just commands, although if there's a handy list of those that would help, but stuff like this where you might be in a bit of an odd situation and need to navigate out of it/get the display to match what VO is saying. Also do you just mute Voiceover, if you're using it with a display?
I don't know how much I'll end up using it, but I can see some situations where it might come in handy, e.g. possibly editing audio/music, where I can use the keyboard but not get speech but rather Voiceover feedback on the display.Also if I'm reading with it it's easier to move the Mac's keyboard off to the side so the display is centered in front of me and the computer. Since I should be able to control everything with the Perkins-style keyboard, I may as well learn how to do it.
Thanks for any help!
