The keystroke functions are not activated untilthe key is released. If a character is composed of several keys, it will be created afterreleasing all keys.In order to make functions available to you which require their own function keys on standardkeyboards, while also providing efficiency of operation, we have introduced the so-calledchord functions. Chords are letters or Braille dots that are used in combination with thespace bar. For example, in the Editor you can use Chord-i [SPC+2 4] to toggle betweeninsert and overwrite mode.With Chord commands, it is enough to release one key in order to activate the function.When entering characters, all keys need to be released.You will find a list of all available key combinations in chapter 12.3.3.2 Signal TonesThe Actilino utilizes various signal tones to indicate its status or to alert you to prompts orpossible errors.1. Startup sound: This is a tone signal which sounds during startup. When the startupsound is preceded by a very short, high tone followed by a pause, then the Actilinois in work mode. |
