If you are within an input field or the Editor, you can immediately begin to enter Braille. In
contrast to the internal note taking function of the Active Braille, TALKS&ZOOMS does
differentiate between the left and right space keys on the Active Braille. The left space key
activates Chord commands, e.g., [SPCL + 1 4] is equivalent to Chord c for copy, etc. The
right space key activates Talks commands.
7.5.2 List of Identification Letters
In most cases, the Braille display for TALKS&ZOOMS will begin with an identification
letter, indicating the type of text output displayed. This is a simple method for you to stay
oriented. The following types of text output are currently defined:
Identification
Description
F:
This letter precedes the selected item from any list, such as the phone
numbers directory, a list of folders (e.g., in "Messages"), or a list of
applications (e.g., under "Extras").
M:
The prefix "M" indicates the selected item from a menu.
T:
This identification letter precedes the line of text that contains the cursor.
S:
The meaning is the same as "T", with the block marking function active.
===
These characters appear before and after the title of the active window.
