6 Documentation Conventions

For consistency and clarity, we have used the following conventions in this
document.
Braille keys are indicated by number. For example, if the documentation
indicates Dot 1, it shows: Dot 1.
If multiple braille keys are required, the documentation indicates those keys by
showing the numbers separated by a space like this: Dots 1 4.
When modifier keys are used, the documentation separates the modifiers from
the rest of the keys with a plus (+) sign like this: Space + Dot 1. Modifiers like the
Shift key on a regular QWERTY keyboard, are keys you hold down while
pressing another key to modify the effect of the pressed key. On a braille
keyboard, Space is often used as a modifier key. Key mnemonics are written in
capital letters for emphasis but are typed in braille lowercase (unless otherwise
stated). When one key follows another, the two keys are shown with a comma
between them. For example, the command Select, M means to press and
release the Select key, then press and release M (Dots 1 3 4) simultaneously.
The Up, Down, Right, and Left directional buttons on the navigation pad are
interchangeably referred to as arrows, buttons, arrow buttons, and arrow keys.
All messages from the device are preceded with Dots 2 5, 2 5 and space. In the
documentation, this is indicated by a double hyphen.
