4.4.1
Key Lock
Single keys of the Basic Braille Plus can be locked to prevent unintentional functions by
pressing a key by mistake. This is helpful when starting to learn how to use the Basic
Braille Plus.
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 are keys which initiate their assigned functions 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 button "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.
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 held down. This feature makes it
easier, for example, 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 can simply hold down the key
until the cursor is at the desired item.
The check box "Use Repeat Keys" is used for enabling this function. 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".
The default setting is that key repeats are disabled. There is no key repeat available for
Braille input.
