Subject: Getting The On-Screen Virtual Keyboard Back
Hello Listers,

One thing I've noticed when either using my Focus 40 Blue or the Apple
Bluetooth keyboard is that when, in an edit field, the on-screen virtual
keyboard is not displayed.  I suppose this is understandable, right?  

The problem is that I do not know how to get the on-screen keyboard to
reappear; that is to say, I cannot get the virtual keyboard to be displayed
at the same time as the hardware keyboard is being used.

I seem to remember someone posting that there is a way to make this happen
or something similar to it.  

Is there a way to make this happen?  

Also, in the past, I remember that if one used the Apple Bluetooth keyboard,
then powered it off, one had to either turn off the Bluetooth receiver or
restart the phone in order to get the virtual keyboard to reappear in text
edit fields or that is what I thought then I saw some kind of post about how
to circumvent this issue.

All Replies Welcome.

Mark

Ah, I see.

There is actually a Braille command for this as well so this should do it on
the Focus 40, also.

As always, you're the right man with the right answers (Smile).

Thank you, Ricardo.

Hi Mark,

Use dots 1-4-6-chord to toggle the virtual keyboard from the Braille display.

Hi,
Don't know about Apple keyboard, but using a braille display, one
can press SPACE with 1-4-6 to toggle the on-screen keyboard.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hello Joseph,

It's interesting, when I looked at the list of Braille commands I did not
see this command yet you and others on the list seem to know it.

Is there some secret book of Braille commands of which I should be aware?
(Big Smile).

Thank you ever so much.

Mark

I don't know about that, but I basically went into keyboard help with dots 1-3-chord and pressed various key combinations. Then I pressed dots 1-2-chord to exit keyboard help.

I know that someone else posted a list of them on a site. It's in the archives for this list, most likely.
