Hi Peter,

It is the close/escape/zigzag that activates the back button or close if coded correctly.
Take 2 fingers place them vertically and move back and forth, so first move to the left tthen back to the start position. How this can be described as a z gesture I really do not know, but most likely the least good desscription somebody could come up with.

Claus

HI,

And now I found the alternative gesture. It is close to how you start bsi.
Place one finger at the top of the screen and the other at the bottom move the fingers closer to each other and this will stop braille screen input.
2 fingers the same
It is actually moving the fingers closer to each other that performs the command, so the fingers does not have to be placed at the top and bottom of the screen to perform the command.

I am not sure exactly what you mean. If you are try to escape and get out of Help for example, you would press B-chord (B with Space.) With iDevices, B-Chord (pressing the "Back" button  in VoiceOver, is the closest to being the PC "Escape" equivalent. Is that what you are meaning?
