The "F1" command for accessing the "Program" menu is an example of a global
hotkey. This means that pressing the "F1" key takes you to the "Program" menu
immediately from anywhere on the BrailleSense.
There are also global quick launch commands for most BrailleSense programs,
usually comprised of either F1 or F3 and a letter or dot combination. These
quick launch commands immediately launch their associated application from
anywhere on the BrailleSense. See section 15.2 for a complete list of the quick
launch commands.
