5.1.10.3 Highlight hotkeys (H)
When
'Highlight hotkeys'
is active, the hotkeys are highlighted by being enclosed in
round brackets, as in the titles in this section. This is useful while you are working in 6 dot
Braille or while you are still learning the hotkeys.
5.1.10.4 show system files (Y)
If you activate this check box, the system files needed by the Active Braille will be
displayed in the file list, along with the files created by you.
!!!!WARNING!!!
We recommend not activating this option. There are several reasons:
1. You only need a display of system files under rare circumstances, and navigating
through the file list will be much faster without the system files displayed.
2. Displaying them also makes it possible to delete system files. You will receive a
warning if you attempt to delete system files, however, if you delete, for example the
message file, you can no longer work on the Active Braille until this file has been
downloaded again. You should therefore delete system files only if you are sure you
know what you are doing.
You take on a great deal of responsibility by being given the option of deleting system files.
Handy Tech Elektronik GmbH therefore accepts no warranty claims arising from any
damage caused by deleting system files.
5.1.10.5 Folders first (O)
This option determines whether the folders or files are listed first in the file list. By default,
this option is set which means the folders are listed first. If you want the files listed first,
you can deactivate this option by pressing [SPC].
5.1.10.6 Quick entry (Q)
If you activate this option, keys [7] and [8] will have a different function: pressed
individually, [7] is now the backspace key, and [8] by itself is the TRC key. When pressed
together with other keys, [7] and [8] retain their original function. For example, [SPC+7] still
moves the cursor to the left, and capital letters can also be typed as usual.
5.1.10.7 show file attributes (B)
This option controls whether file attributes are displayed on the file list or not. If this option
is activated, the file list will show the size as well as the date and time of the most recent
access to the file in addition to the file name. This function will slow navigation through the
file list a little, however.
5.1.10.8 auto switch external keyboard (X)
When active, the Active Braille automatically switches an external keyboard connected to it
into external keyboard mode when the operating mode is set to PC Mode, i.e., the
keyboard can now be used to operate the PC.
When the Active Braille is switched back into menu mode, the keyboard is automatically
reset to internal keyboard mode. You can therefore use the keyboard now to write notes
on the Active Braille.
