If you try to run a program that is currently running, The BrailleSense does not
open a new instance of the program, but rather, returns you to the instance of
the program that is already running. For example, while working with a
document called "Notes" you decide to execute the "File Manager." Next, you
navigate to a document called "journal" in the file list and press "Enter." The
Word Processor does not load a second time, but rather, "journal" is opened in
the same instance of the Word Processor in which "notes" is already loaded.
You can switch among multiple open documents in a single instance of the Word
Processor with F3 and Space-F3. Switching documents is explained in more
detail in section 5.
To switch between currently running programs press "F1-F4" to open the Task
List. The Task List shows all the currently running programs in list form. To return
to any application, simply navigate to it and press "Enter". To force closing of an
application in this list, press "Space-D". To close all applications, press “F3” to
tab to the “Close All” button, and press “Enter”, or press “Enter-Space-D”.
If you have pressed "F1" to bring up the "Program" menu, or "F1-F4" to open the
Task List and you decide not to access a different application, you can press
"escape" ("Space-e" or "F4") to return to your previous location on the unit.
You can use "F2-F3" to immediately cycle among all running programs without
opening the Task List. This is similar to using "alt-tab" on your PC. If you are
running three programs and are in the second program, pressing "F2" and "F3"
moves you to the third program. If you press "F2-F3" again, you are placed in
the first program.
In the above case, if you were to press "Space-Z" to close the currently open
program, you are then placed in the previous program. However, if there is only
one program running, pressing "Space-Z" closes the program and places you in
the "Program" menu.
