Documentation Conventions
For consistency and clarity, this documentation uses the following conventions.
Braille keys are indicated by a number. For example, if the documentation
indicates Dot 1, it shows Dot 1.
If multiple braille keys are required, the documentation indicates those keys by
showing the numbers separated by a space like this: Dots 1 4.
When modifier keys are used, the documentation separates the modifiers from
the rest of the keys with a plus (+) sign like this: Space + Dot 1. Recall that
modifiers, like the Shift key on a regular QWERTY keyboard, are keys you hold
down while pressing another key. This modifies the effect of the pressed key. On
a braille keyboard, Space is often used as a modifier to alter the effect of the
input keys.
Key mnemonics are written in capital letters for emphasis but are typed in braille
lowercase (unless otherwise stated). When one key follows another, the two keys
are shown with a comma between them. For example, the command Select, M
means to press and release the Select key, then press and release M (Dots 1 3
4) simultaneously.
The Up, Down, Right, and Left directional buttons on the navigation pad are
interchangeably referred to as arrows, buttons, arrow buttons, and arrow keys.
