Charles,

Good or bad we didn't think it made sense for a script to insert new
braille hotkeys. A script can however intercept braille keys and do
whatever they want. So for example you could hook BrailleDisplay.OnKey
and when you get the key combination of interest eat the key and do your
thing. This way only while your script is running would you be
effecting the braille hotkeys.

Hi Aaron and list,



Thanks for the reply. I looked at the Capture and Insert methods, but
don't really understand how I can use these methods to register the hot
key. Let me explain what I want to do. I want to register a hot key for
instance D1D2 on my Focus Blue and then assign the letter "b" to that
hot key. I can do this in the braille hot keys dialogue box, but is it
possible to do it with a script? I actually want to define a whole
braille input mode for the Focus Blue.

Thanks

I want to register braille hot keys in a script. I cannot find any
method such as RegisterBrailleHotkey or something similar under the
BrailleDisplay object. I also cannot find any examples of working with
braille hot keys. Any help would be appreciated.

You can use the BrailleDisplay object's Capture method to obtain a
BrailleHotkey object. Alternatively, you can use the BrailleDisplay
object's Insert method to insert a Braille Hot Key. Insert has some
examples.
