position inserted between the status modules and the remaining positions on the
Braille line. The blank element has no function.
The field "Position of status cells" allows you to determine whether the status
modules should be displayed on the left or right side of the Braille line. As a default,
they are displayed on the left.
The check box called "Display status cells" lets you enable and disable the status
display. The status information is not displayed by default. There is a quicker method
for enabling and disabling the status display: pressing both of the thumb keys, [L] and
[R], on the front face of the housing simultaneously. When you use this method you
don't need to open the Settings menu.
4.4 Key Actions
This tab sheet allows you to adjust the behavior of the single keys strokes of your
Modular Evolution in the following three different ways:
Key Lock: Keys, defined as locked, will be ignored when pressed.
Fast Keys: Keys, defined as fast keys, performs their action already when
pressed and not
– as usual – when released.
Repeat Keys: Keyes, defined as repeat keys, will repeat their action
continually while be pressed.
4.4.1 Key Lock
Single keys of the Modular Evolution can be locked to prevent unintentional functions
by pressing a key by mistake. This is helpful when starting to learn how to use the
Modular Evolution.
With the checkbox
“Use Key Lock“ you can activate this function. The button “Locked
Keys…” will open the dialog “Define locked keys for device”. In the list box “Device”
the connected Braille display is already preselected. In the list box
“Available keys”
you choose the keys to be locked.
With the “Add” button you move the selected key
into the list box
“Locked keys”. The “Remove” button removes the key back to the
available keys. By default, no keys are locked.
4.4.2 Fast Keys
Fast keys, also known as hot keys, refer to keys that implement the function
associated with that key as soon as the key is pressed, instead of when the key is
released. If one of the keys to be used in a key combination is a fast key, the fast key
must therefore be pressed last.
The check box "Use Fast Keys" is used for enabling this function. The but
ton “Fast
Keys…” will open the dialog “Define Fast Keys for device”. 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 fast keys from the list box "Available keys" and move
them by pressing the “Add” button into the list box “Fast Keys”. By default, no keys
are defined as fast keys. There are no fast keys available for Braille input.
