By default, when a Braille input configuration is enabled, the rest of the main keyboard is inactive apart from the exceptions noted earlier in this chapter. You can enable the main keyboard with the "K" option in the Braille keyboard setup string. Separate the "K" and any other options from the Braille dot definitions by a comma.

When the main keyboard is enabled at the same time as a Braille input key set, it is possible to use the same keyboard unit for both Braille text entry and standard typing. To be practical, the Braille dots must not encroach upon the standard typing keys. There are two possibilities:

The Braille dots are defined on the main keyboard number row, such as keys 43278910 corresponding to dots 12345678. The typist can enter numbers using the numeric key pad.

The Braille dots are assigned to a subset of the function keys, which leaves the main keyboard number keys available for standard use.
