Humanware BrailleNote Touch Plus - Navigating and Opening Menu Items; Managing Running Applications

31
Navigating in the
Main Menu
When using TouchBraille, you can scroll through any menu using the Previous and Next thumb keys
located on the front edge of your BrailleNote Touch. Alternatively, you can press SPACE to navigate to
the next item and BACKSPACE to navigate to the previous item.
To navigate in the main menu using Explore by Touch, simply move your finger over each choice. Each
item will be read out loud and displayed on the Braille display as you hover over them.
Note: Visually there is a border over the selected item showing the current focus.
Opening Menu Items
To launch a selected item, press on any cursor routing key, or press ENTER if you are in TouchBraille
mode. Double tap the screen if you are in Explore by Touch mode.
Access to Running
Applications
At some point, you may wish to return to an application you recently used and did not close. These
applications are still running so you can quickly return to them without having to reopen them through
the main menu.
To access a running application, simply press the Recent apps button, the square button in the middle of
your Touch’s front edge, or type SPACE with DOTS 2-3-5. Navigate to the app you wish to open with your
thumb keys, then press ENTER or a cursor routing key.
If you press the Next thumb key, you will select the app info item, when you can get additional
information regarding that app. You will be directed to the “App info” screen where you will find a
significant amount of information about the selected application, such as the version number, memory
usage, permissions, etc., as well as some additional options for your application. For apps you have
downloaded, this screen is the easiest way to uninstall them from your BrailleNote.
Press next again to access the dismiss item, which allows you to close only that specific app.
To close all apps in the recent apps screen, simply navigate to the “Clear All” button and activate it with
a cursor routing key or by pressing enter. Note that this will completely close any open apps and return
you to the main menu.
You can quickly switch to your last used application by pressing the Recent apps button twice in rapid
succession.
