Hi,
Yes the learn mode ejumps out in a few seconds. Thats so beginners don’t get stuck in learn mode I assume.
There may be a way to make it stay longer, but I have not looked for that.

Most of the commands like space-1457 and space-1458 apply to normal operations, not within menus.
The movement and selection commands are totally different within menus. 
Those are described at the bottom of the text you sent under menu operations.
Also check the command to set typing mode to text or dots. It is just before the menu operations.

Hello All,

Well I had hoped to send you my first email from the Pi driven by my Focus. However, I must have got the wrong key bindings. Where do I find the right guide?

If I exicute the learn mode <space l> It does go into learn mode but jumps out within a second or 2. Is this supposed to happen?

<space d> Just presents every pin raised. Is that what is supposed to happen?
The 2 adjustments I wish to address immediately looked like they were <space d + 7 or 8>. But like with <space p> I can’t work out how to make selections. Menu selections suggest there is a way of selecting previous and next items but what about the current one. The 6 dot and 8 dot selections don’t seem to work.

How do I move forward?

Thank you.

Here’s the text I have:

Key Table: FreedomScientific Focus2 (Blue) 40

Notes
* An eight-dot, Perkins-style, braille keyboard is near the rear of the top.
  Its keys, From left to right, are: Dot7, Dot3, Dot2, Dot1, Dot4, Dot5, Dot6, Dot8.
  The space bar is in front of the braille cells.
* There is a routing key immediately behind each braille cell.
  Some models have a navrow key immediately behind each routing key.
* There are two Nav controls - one at each end of the braille cells.
  They have three actions: Up, Down, and Press.
  On newer models, each is a rocker combined with a button.
  On older models, each is a wheel that can be both rolled and pressed.

  pan left, left rocker, left selector, left shift - right shift, right selector, right rocker, pan right.
