4.4.3 Repeat Keys
With the settings under "Repeat Keys" you can specify the repeat interval at which a
function initiated by a key is repeated when that key is continually pressed. This
feature makes it easier, for example, while you are trying to navigate through a list,
because you do not need to keep pressing the forward or backward key for each item
in the list, but keep holding down that key until the cursor is at the desired item.
The check box "Use Repeat Keys" is used for enabling this function. The default
setting is that key repeats are disabled.
The button “Repeat Keys…” will open the
dialog “Settings for repeat keys”. In the list box “Device” the connected Braille display
is already preselected. In this dialog you can then select the keys you want to define
as repeat keys from the list box "Available keys" and move them by pressing the
“Add” button into the list box “Repeat Keys”. For the Modular Evolution, the keys [B4],
[B5], [TLU], [TLD], [TRU], [TRD], [L], and [R] are implemented with a default repeat
interval of 500 milliseconds if you activate key repeats. There is no key repeat
available for Braille input.
4.5 Miscellaneous
Under the tab "Miscellaneous", you can specify whether your actions should be
tracked in a protocol file. This function is available in case you enlist Technical
Support. Please check this box only when asked to do so by your customer service
representative. You will then also be able to specify where this protocol file should be
saved, in the field called "Protocol file".
The check box "Quick Entry in PC mode by Dot 7 as Back Space and Dot 8 as Enter"
results in the [B1] key functioning like a Backspace key during Braille input, and the
[B8] key as Enter. If you want to disable this option, you can do so by unchecking this
box, which is checked by default.
