Operations Bars

Operations Bars feature

Starting from version (1.1) of SwiftBraille, and because of the conflict between using gestures and other screen readers, the operations bars feature has been added to give users the ability to make some operations without using gestures! You can activate this feature from the settings screen, and scroll down to Advanced Settings:
