4.4 The Review Cursor.
When you are reading, the cursor is hidden because it serves no useful purpose. However, in the
automatic Braille display mode, when you are reviewing character by character, the cursor is shown
to indicate the current character. For grade 1 or grade 2 Braille, the cursor is both dots 7 and 8 by
default. For computer Braille the cursor is dot 8 only. Remember that KeyBook automatically
displays the book in your preferred grade of Braille if the original book is in text format. If you
move the cursor onto a word, however, that word is displayed in computer Braille. This gives you a
one-to-one correspondence between the Braille display and the word you are reviewing. Of course,
if the original book is in Braille there is no change as you move the cursor.
When the cursor is under a format indicator, the cursor spans all of the cells of the indicator.
