Hi staff and listers, and to the staff, if you've a preferred means for
users like me to suggest or request features, please let me know publicly or
privately and I'll leave them off the list. I have three requests which
would greatly maximize my efficiency using Braille+.
The first would be to have a single keystroke to toggle among the various
open documents in the Word Processor. I'll suggest dots 4, 5, and the enter
key, as that roughly translates to control+tab in a Windows-based word
processor, but I'm not particular about what key combination is used. I'd
prefer to have the keystroke move through the entire list of presently open
documents rather than moving among just two, as I often work among three
documents or more. I am very aware of the menu, 7, 6 command, but really
find it much less efficient than a single keystroke would be.
Secondly, and I find more situations where I'd benefit from this every day,
I really would like to see the delete-by-word command, control+space+b,
available throughout the edit fields in the device. I really miss it in the
planner, address list, and filling out web forms, but ultimately I'd like to
always know its there. I'd also desperately like to see this command fixed
so that multiple uses of it in rapid succession won't result in spelling of
words after the first one deleted.
Lastly, I'd also like to see some possibility of returning the navigation
command, now option held down for an extended time, be returned to a single
key tap, as it was when it was the pound key. I don't care if it is again
the pound key, but I use this feature very often, and find the necessity to
hold the key a significant hindrance to efficient, effortless navigation. If
it is possible to simply customize the key layout via editing some file(s),
I'll gladly customize my layout and go on a happy camper.
Once more, thanks in advance for any discussion or feedback generated, and I
look forward to reading.
Very gratefully,
Jeremiah Z. Rogers
