BraillePen Write Keymaps
We will add new keymap files here as they are made. Each keymap file has an associated keystroke table, so you should give your users both files.
With each keymap come two text files:
available-keystrokes-nn.txt
where nn stands for the language of the keymap, and
BP12 remaining keystrokes.txt
These files give the available keystrokes for that keymap, that you can use to set up extra keystrokes using BPConfig.
Because the file containing the remaining BP12 (Touch) keystrokes is the same for every keymap, we haven’t added it to every line in the table below. It can be downloaded here:
BP12 remaining keystrokes.txt
To download right-click the file you need and then select Save As.
