Ana,


With NVDA, I highly recommend installing the Braille Extender add-on. 
It's found on the NVDA community add-ons page. The documentation will be 
auto-generated based on the braille display you have installed. One of 
the features of the add-on is the ability to assign additional 
shortcuts. I don't know the specifics of your display. But, based on 
what I know of the add-on, you should be able to do what you want.


Regards,


Pratik
