By default, and in accordance with the usual practice when part of the computer keyboard is configured for use as a Braille keyboard, most of the remaining keys are ignored. This means that most of the keyboard is inactive apart from the Braille dot keys and the space bar.

In WintextCom Personal Information Manager(tm), the following keys continue to perform their standard functions when the Braille input keyboard is enabled, unless they have been customised separately:

The function keys.
Escape.
Tab.
ENTER.
Backspace.
The Shift, Control, Alt and Windows logo keys.
If Numlock is off, the numeric keypad keys perform their navigation functions, but they are ignored if Numlock is on, as are the character keys on that section of the keyboard, except Grey ENTER.

You can change this behaviour. One possibility, that of mapping certain keys to work as additional spacers, has already been discussed. The following sections describe two additional features for designing special keyboard layouts to meet the particular needs of individual users.
