Modifier Keys
Use the keys on the braille display to simulate key combinations
(keystrokes) that include
CTRL
,
ALT
,
WINDOWS Key
,
SHIFT
, or the
JAWS Key (

). To use these modifiers when typing a keystroke, do
the following:

and then press the corresponding
modifier keys in the keystroke. Modifier keystrokes are listed below.
2. After you create the modifier portion of the keystroke, release the
keys and press the remaining part of the keystroke. For example, to
perform the keystroke CTRL+SHIFT+V, you press DOTS 3-7-8
CHORD, release the keys, and then press V (DOTS 1-2-3-6).
