and the media buttons are again operational.

2.11 One-Handed Mode

BrailleSense provides a One-handed mode for users restricted to the use of one

hand for Braille input. To toggle One-handed mode on/off, press “Backspace-1-

2-3”. You can also turn One-handed mode on or off in the "Global Options"

dialog.

When One-handed mode is on, use the following methods to input text:

1. To type a character, press the dots in any combination or order. When you

have pressed all dots, press "Space" to complete the entry of the character. For

example, if you want to type "h," you press "dot 1" and "dot 2" separately or

together and then press "dot 5." Finally, press "Space".

2. To press a command that includes "Space," press "Space" both before and

after the dot combination. For example, to press "Space-o (dots 1-3-5)," press

"Space" then press "dot 1", "dot 3" and "dot 5" separately or together in any

order. Then press "Space" again.

3. To press a command that includes "Backspace" or "Enter," press "Backspace"

or "Enter" before the dot combination. Then press keys that make up the dot

combination. Finally press "Space". For example, to press "Enter-l (dots 1-2-3)",

press "Enter", and then press "dots 1-2-3." then, press "Space".
