Braille-Emulation of PC-Shift, Alt, Ctrl, Win 
A special problem when emulating a full PC keyboard is the fact that you can 

combine just about any key with Ctrl, Alt or Shift. Computer Braille typically 
gives the possibility to write capitalized characters, such as "A" (typically dot 

1+7), but there is no generally accepted code for Ctrl-Esc, for example, or Shift-
F1. 
 

The Braille keyboard of BRAILLEX Trio enables you to write just about any PC 
key combination, especially with these keys (and with Insert, which is commonly 

used in combination with other keys in a popular screen reader program). 
 

Rather than defining a key combination (for example with combinations of thumb 
keys, space and Braille) for all these key combination, BRAILLEX Trio makes the 

key modifiers Shift, Alt, Ctrl and Insert available in the way of "sticky keys", as a 
prefix for combinations with other keys. 
 

So if you want to write a key combination with Shift for example, you write the 
"Shift" code first, and the other key afterwards. In case you type one of these 

prefixes by mistake, you can also disable it again.

Please note that these prefixes currently only apply in the external mode, i.e. 
when you type on the computer connected to Trio. In stand-alone mode (i.e. in 

the editor), Ctrl combinations must be written with dots 7 and 8.
