KeyBRF will display the content of the .brf or .brl file in the same grade it was written in, which means
that if the file was written in grade 2 Braille, it will also be displayed in grade 2 Braille regardless of your
chosen Braille type. In KeyBRF, the Braille text will not be converted to visual text, and sighted users will
only be able to see Braille dots on the screen. Speech feedback is limited in KeyBRF as you are working
with direct Braille dots exclusively. It is also possible to toggle between Reading mode and editing mode
by pressing SPACE with X as in KeyWord.
Note that when opening a .brf or .brl file in KeyBRF, it is always in read only mode first. If you want to
edit an existing Braille file in KeyBRF, you need to activate edit mode via the context menu or using the
command SPACE with X.
Creating a .brf or .brl
file
To create a .brf or .brl file, from the KeyBRF menu, select the option Create and press ENTER. When
creating a document, edit mode is turned on. As in KeyWord, you can use the same Save and Save As
options by pressing BACKSPACE with S, and your document will be saved as a .brf or .brl file.
Finding Braille Text
It’s possible to search for text in a .brf or .brl file using the Find shortcut. Type SPACE with F, then enter
your search parameters in the search field. Select and activate the Next button to find the text of your
search parameter located after your cursor, or select the previous button to find your search parameter
text located before your cursor. Alternatively, you can access the Find function through the Context
menu by pressing SPACE with M.
