Keyboard Control Screen - LCT Eyegaze Edge User Manual

Pause Key
The "Pause" key (labeled PSE) makes it possible for you to look at the keyboard without activating
keys. When you look at the Pause key it will light up. While the Pause key is illuminated, the Eyegaze
Edge will not respond to your gaze, allowing you to look around without activating keys. The Pause key
will remain lit until you look at it a second time to resume key activation.

2.3.2 Keyboard Control Screen

Looking at the "out" key on the keyboard display brings up
the Keyboard Control screen. The Control screen can be
thought of as the menu screen for the Keyboard program,
providing access to all of the functions associated with that
program:
Keyboard Selection Keys
Look at a Keyboard selection key: "alpha", "qwerty," "abcde,"
or "freq" to choose a keyboard. Activate the "Type: key to
bring up the selected keyboard.
Save Key
To save text you have typed activate the "Save" key. A "File save" screen then appears, which contains
a keyboard for naming the file you are creating. Type in a file name, then activate the Save or Enter
key.
If you have previously retrieved a file, the name of that retrieved file automatically appears on the File
Save screen. If you have edited (changed) the text and wish to replace the old file with the newly edited
version, activate the Save key without typing in a new file name. If you wish to save the new text in a
different file, type in the new file name and then activate the Save key. To exit the Save File screen,
look at the Out key. You can exit the screen without saving a file.
Retrieve Key
To retrieve a file, activate the "Retrieve" key. A list of all your text files appears. Look at a key next to
the name of the file you want to retrieve. After you retrieve a file, the program automatically returns to
the Keyboard Control screen. Look at "Type" to bring up the file on a keyboard screen, where you can
edit or add to the retrieved text.
It is possible to retrieve a file and add it into text that is already on the screen. While you are on the
keyboard screen, place the cursor at the location on your text where you want the retrieved text to be
inserted, then:
1) Look at the Out to got to the Keyboard control screen, and activate the Retrieve key.
2) From the Retrieve screen select the file you wish to add into your text. As soon as you make
your selection the retrieved text will be inserted just ahead of the cursor you previously placed.
The cursor will be under the first character of the inserted text.
Deleting files: To delete a file, first go to the Retrieve File screen, which displays all your saved files.
There are three steps involved in deleting a file:
1) Activate the "Delete" key. The key turns red, and the screen is re-labeled "Delete File".
2) Look at the key next to the file you wish to delete. The file key turns yellow.
