pressed by [SPCL] or [SPCR].
Key combinations are represented by the plus sign (+), e.g., Ctrl+Alt+a. Consecutive key
strokes are separated by a comma, e.g., 1, 2 or SPC+2 3 7, z. The cursor routing keys are
abbreviated as CR (e.g., CR12 = cursor routing key above Braille module 12).

SPC + 2 3 4 7 "holds down" the shift key
until SPC + 2 3 4 7 is input again. It is
therefore possible to work with all cursor
movements, such as Home, End, etc. If
you wanted to mark two characters to the
right of the cursor, you would enter SPC +
2 3 4 7, SPC+8 (cursor right) twice, and
SPC + 2 3 4 7 again
