Function keys on orbit reader 40.

Ali Colak
Hello,
Is there anyway to make the function keys like space+n and space+t work with NVDA. When I press space+n to go the NVDA menu on the orbit reader 40, there is no responce.

I would suggest installing the BrailleExtender add-on, then reading its help to discover the braille display keys that you need to use for your particular purposes.

You need to read the manual Orbit Research has. I'm sure its located on their site. I'm sure their commands specificly for NVDA. I have an Orbit Writer. I don't know if the commands for the reader and writer are the same or not.

I know that someone on the orbit list compiled a list of easy to find manuals and driver updates that are not so confusing. I actually need to access that site myself shortly. If I can find the link I'll post it here.

I use the Orbit Writer with my iPhone. As someone new to NVDA can you tell me if you can use the Orbit Writer with a Windows laptop without having to resort to the laptop keyboard for any reason ? Thanks. Warmly, Mani

Sarah k Alawami, if you can poast that link I will be greatful, the orbit reader user guide was uninformative. There is a possibility that all of this is due to the fact that HID support is at infancy, but I am not sure as I am new to using a braille display with a screen reader. While I have downloaded braille extender and will be exploring its features, I don't see them having any use for me as the gestures I am trying to work with are already defined in NVDA.

I'll try and find it. Honestly I totally forgot to look yesterday, or I can give you the groups.io page hwerein this list is. This guy posts all the time and there are a lot of very very helpful people on there.
Here is the link to the list page. There you will find all email addresses to sub, unsub and much much more. It will probably be much much faster if you sub and ask your questions as you and I are both very new to braille displays. Orbit are even on there so you get to talk to the CO themselves.
