[nabs-l] Can you connect a Bluetooth Keyboard, and a BrailleNote Apex Display in order to to use it with theiPhone 5

[I. C. Bray]

I believe that it is the SH Chord
or, 1+4+6+SPACE
Here is a link I posted earlier for commands... it is an excellent resource

Hope it helps.

: I'm not sure how to turn the screen keyboard off while using the Apex.
: I thought it went off automatically.  I actually don't have an Apex
: myself, but I have used them and, in the capacity of an assistive tech
: instructor, have taught them in combination with the iPhone.  Yes,
: there are a number of commands you can use from the Apex to control
: the phone.  Off the top of my head, I can think of: chord M (M + the
: space bar) to mute and unmute voiceover and chord H (H plus the space
: bar) to return to the home screen.  I can see if I can find a list of
: commands for you and I'll also look into how to turn off the screen
: keyboard.  Again, I thought that disappeared automatically when the
: Apex is connected, but apparently not.  I know on the Apple Bluetooth
: keyboards, pressing the top key on the upper right-hand corner (I'm
: drawing a blank on what key that would actually be) will turn on and
: off the screen keybaord, but I can't think of how to do it with the
: Apex.  Anyone else have some insight on that?  Hope this helps.  I'll
: get back to you with a list of commands for the Apex when I find them.
