3.4.1 Table of Key Commands for Controlling the PC
The key combinations for controlling the PC are listed below in the form of a table.
We have included as many combinations as possible; however, if a combination is
not shown, it does not mean that it is not possible.
Key combinations are represented by the plus sign (+), e.g., Ctrl+Alt+a. Consecutive
key strokes are separated by a comma.
The cursor routing keys are abbreviated as CR (e.g., CR12 = cursor routing key
above Braille module 12).

Chord S
SPC + 2 3 4 7 "holds down" the shift key until
SPC + 2 3 4 7 is pressed again. It is
therefore possible to work with all cursor
movements, such as Pos1, End, etc. If you
wanted to mark two characters to the right of
the cursor, you would enter SPC + 2 3 4 7,
then SPC + 8 (cursor right) twice, and SPC +
2 3 4 7 again.
