I would like to make that a suggestion. Here is how I would like to see it
work:
1. If you plug your unit in to the QWERTY docking station, it will switch
to computer (ASCII) Braille, if necessary.
2. If you plug your unit into the Braille docking station, it will switch
to grade 2 if necessary.
Remember though, you can press control+L (hold down zero and then press 5 3
times in ABC mode, or press zero+pound, and then type five in thumb braille)
to switch between the two Braille modes. This isn't that convenient, but it
works.

Also, unless I'm mistaken, you'd want to have your input method
consistently set to computer Braille while using a docking station,
wouldn't you? I know when I try to type in ABC mode and I have Grade 2 as
my preferred input method, if I hit the numbers, for example, I get the
Grade 2 equivalent (e.g. "gg" for 7.) Is this going to be the same when
using the docking station, or is there going to be a way to make it so
that when you start typing on the docking station it automatically goes to
ASCII?
