Hi all or anyone - Was wondering if anyone has had this issue before.  I have my Elan Cybra hooked up to the newest version of Plover and while it is creating a steno output in the paper display when I click the # bar I only get the "#" and no numbers.  I'm not sure if this is something on my steno machine itself that is causing it or does it just not translate in Plover.   

Any help/suggestions are much appreciated. TIA.

Hi, I'm not sure if you're aware, but the number bar acts as a shift key and you have to press it with other keys to get numbers. So for example, #S is 1, #T is 2, etc. It sounds like you're only pressing the number bar itself. Hope this helps.

Thanks I see - It has been a few years since I had taken steno classes and with that it was on a manual machine so the Cybra is new territory for me especially with it translating on the computer so Thank you. 

 I guess I was expecting it to show up as numerical values.  I'm still trying to figure out how or what would work in showing the paper tape but simultaneously translating from steno to english in something like word or notepad.
