Hi,

After a discussion by phone, the problem is solved.

There was actually a misunderstanding on how the names of the keys have
to be interpreted.

Indeed, on the Active Braille and Active Star, the functionkeys are
called B1 to B8. Moreover, their layout really suggests a braille
keyboard. So Jean-Philippe interpreted B1 to be the first braille dot,
B2the second braille dot, etc. However, B1 and B8 actually refer to key
numbers from left to right. So B1 is the key at the left, then comes B2,
B3 and B4 and then, at the right of the two central keys, from left to
right, B5, B6, B7 and B8 at the extreme right.

It may be a good idea to clarify what the names B1 to B8 mean in the key
table.

Shérab.
