Hello Peter: You still have forgotten to sleep... I confirm that on a French keyboard the characters appear as follow: - lower case: qsdfghjklmù* - upper case: QSDFGHJKLM%µ So * should be allowed. Best regards.

However, given the information I have about French keyboard layouts, it appears that you are choosing a very strange set of keys indeed. Perhaps instead of: wxcmù* You mean: cxwmù* Recall that the first of these characters represents dot 1, not dot 3. Moreover, it doesn't appear to me that the key for * will generally be next to the key for ù. The key for * appears to me to be out of reach, so we don't currently allow its use for braille entry. Should we allow *? It is easy to make this change. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jean-François colas Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 12:34 PM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: Redefing the braille keyboard Precisely, that's what I did. Here is what I get when I try wxcmù* (in AZERTY) or sdf456 : Error You must type exactly six keys in as the "Six-Key Key Set." The keys you type represent, in order, what you will type for Dots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 when entering braille by six-key chording. Best regards, J.-F.
