6.4.3 Editing a text selection
When editing text, you can identify the location of your editing cursor by locating the DOTS 7 and 8 that
are risen on your Braille display. Any letter you type will appear to the left of your editing cursor, and
typing backspace will delete the letter located to the left of your editing cursor. When using Computer
Braille, the cursor is represented by DOT 8.
To select text, place your cursor where you wish to begin your selection, then press ENTER with S. This
will activate selection mode. In selection mode, the Braille display’s editing cursor will “flash”
repeatedly.
Move your cursor to the location you wish to end your selection, then press ENTER with S once again to
finish your selection. Your next action will affect the text you have selected. Your selected text will be
“underlined” on your Braille display with DOTS 7 and 8.
You can select all the text by pressing ENTER with DOTS 1 2 3 4 5 6.
There are many ways you can change text you have selected. For a thorough list of commands that can
affect your text, such as alignment and font, press SPACE with M or press the square Contextual menu
button down for the KeyWord Context menu or refer to the command summary located at the Appendix
A of this guide.

To delete the letter left of your cursor, type BACKSPACE.
BACKSPACE will also delete any text that is highlighted.
To delete the current character, type BACKSPACE with DOTS 3 6.
To delete the word just before your editing cursor, type BACKSPACE with DOT 2.
To delete the word on which your editing cursor is located, type BACKSPACE with DOTS 2 5.

with the Read all command: SPACE with G, for “Go”.
