Thanks Larry, I wondered about its usefulness since you can do just about
all those keys with the braille keys.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Great tool!
I think the makers of the other note takers should be very concerned about
the new kid on the block.

Not dense at all, in fact, it is not of much use now. Originally, it was a
way to type the numeric keypad keys on a regular 101 key keyboard. There are
some rare instances where it would be of use. Some of the review commands
for the Speakup screen reader in console mode are examples.

At the risk of seeming completely dense, could you give a couple examples?

It produces a key from the numeric keypad rather than from the main part of
a qwerty keyboard.

OK. I think I understand the alt key from the chart in the manual.
It is chord+u, then the next letter pressed is modified as if you were
holding down the alt key on a QWERTY keyboard.
However, could someone explain the chord+n, keypad key a bit further? I'm
probably just being dense.
Also, can anyone else get the Braille Plus to speak the time with the
chord+t command? I cannot.
Thanks,
Richard
