cursor routing row. The ALVA BC640 and ALVA BC680 are equipped with one
row of cursor routing keys. However, by keeping the cursor routing key pressed the
ALVA Braille Controller is able to emulate a second row of cursor routing keys. This
will give you the possibility to perform a left and a right mouse click with one row of
cursor routing keys. When enabled, the ALVA Braille Controller will differentiate
between a short and a long cursor routing key press. A short press will be treated as
a press of a key of the first row of cursor routing keys, while a long press will be seen
as a press of a key of the second row of cursor routing keys. The length of a "long
press" can be set by adjusting the delay time. The default time is half a second. The
assignment of the first and second row of cursor key actions depends on the used
screen reader. Refer to your screen reader documentation for the assignment of the
first and second cursor routing key actions.
