Are there any braille keyboard commands to swipe between open apps, the gesture is a 4 finger flick left and or right, is there a braille keyboard command?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, Peter,

There aren't any assigned commands by default, but you can assign them.

Go to Settings, Accessibility, Voiceover, Commands, and Braille commands. Find the device category, then find "open previous app" and "open next app." For each of these, double-tap the one you want to assign key commands for. You'll be prompted to input command you want. (For example, I use dot 3-5-7 and dot 2-6-7 with sspace, ssince they are iPad commands and won't work on an iPhone.) You'll be prompted if you use a command that's already assigned.

HTH,
Teresa

Hello Peter and All,
yes, it isIn the Apple support page, sthere is a list of commands for using the Iphone or Ipad thrught the Braille display. sI don.t know if in this list is possible sto atqche files, otherwise, if you want, let me know, and I can send you, I have this list in English.
Talking about Apple commands in Braille display, I have a question: in the new Ios14, there is a command list asíigned to a keys combinations in the Braille display and between those command to aâthomatic scroll when you are reding having. the Braille dispay connected to the Iphone. I kow that some friends of me will be able to do it with other Brille displays, however, with the Orit plus I canot do it, I don.t any cocmand assigned to that function (authomatic scroll for readin) a)d I don.t ind the way in order to asíign it.
DOES someone know more about this matter, and can hrp me and tell me if it.s possible to scroll authomatically using the Orit 20 plus connected theIphone?.
Many thanks in advance.

Yes, but you have to assign your own command to it. I think it's in the Braille section of Commands in Voiceover settings.

HTH,

Hello Teresa,

I heard that Orbit reader braille display doesn't have cursors right? If so that is more work than have cursors. I prefer to have cursors buttons included to make it very easy to used than no cursors button at all. How does it work?

Someone told me long way to make it to work than have cursors is more quickly way. hmmm
