The requirements for cursor movement vary between the applications you will use, on your
phone, tablet or PC, but we have included some cursor movement and text selection
keystrokes to get you started.
To move the cursor in text, you will usually find that these keystrokes will work:
C dot 1
Left
C dot 4
Right
C dot 5
Up
C dot 2
Down
These keystrokes have the same effect in BraillePen Write, for instance, as if you used the
Joystick to move the cursor.
To move word by word, press control while you move the Joystick:
c joystick left
will
move the cursor one word to the left, while
c joystick right
will move the cursor one
word to the right.
To select text, press
shift + control + joystick right
to select from the cursor to the end of
the word.
Always check the keystrokes for your application.
BraillePen 12 Clipboard
1. Introduction
BraillePen 12 has a built-in feature called the Clipboard. You can use it at any time without
having to connect your keyboard with any device. Information entered from the Braille
keyboard is saved immediately into the BraillePen's memory. You can also review what you
have typed using the two Pan keys. If needed, you can transfer the content of your Clipboard
to a different device, e.g. iPhone, using the Bluetooth connection. It needs to be remembered
that the data in the Clipboard is stored as a combination of the key presses rather than as
characters, as it may affect the transfer process.
2. How to use the Clipboard
Switching on the Clipboard
To activate the Clipboard, turn your BraillePen 12 on by pressing Space + dots 1 3. When
your keyboard is ready, press simultaneously three keys, Left Pan + Shift + dot 3. The
BraillePen 12 will beep and now you can begin writing into the memory. The cursor is always
put at the end of text. It means that regardless of what is displayed on the Braille line,
entering any key combination will scroll the content to the end where new text is appended.
The Clipboard can store up to 500 characters. When it is full, no more key strokes will be
added and you will hear a short beep.
Deleting
To delete a previous character, press Left Pan + dots 1 2 3. This combination functions just
like Backspace on the PC keyboard.
Emptying the Clipboard
To remove the content from the Clipboard, press Left Pan + Right Pan + dots 123456.
Remember that this operation cannot be reversed.
Exiting the Clipboard
To exit the Clipboard press Right Pan + Ctrl + dot 6. The BraillePen 12 will beep. All your data
will be automatically saved in the memory.
