New SEND Screen
SEND now has its own screen instead of a key combination inside Bluetooth Keyboard mode. It types the current file into your computer as if you were typing it on a Bluetooth keyboard.
| Step | Screen shows | Keys |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Pair | Waiting for connection. Pair with "Micro Journal" from your computer's Bluetooth settings. | Esc Exit |
| 2. Ready | Connected. Click into the window on your computer where the text should go. | Any key: Send · Esc Exit |
| 3. Sending | Sending, with a progress bar (Rev.5, Rev.6 and Rev.8). | Any key: Stop |
| 4. Done | Back to Connected, showing "Send completed" or "Send stopped". | Any key: Send again · Esc Exit |
- Leaving the SEND screen restarts Micro Journal, and it opens back in the editor.
- If your computer disconnects while sending, sending stops.
- The old ways of starting a send from Bluetooth Keyboard mode have been removed:
| Model | Removed shortcut |
|---|---|
| Rev.5 | MENU / ESC tap |
| Rev.6, Rev.8 | Top-left + top-right keys together |
| Rev.7 | PAUSE key |
Redesigned Bluetooth Screens
The SEND and BLE KEYBOARD screens have a new, cleaner look:
- smoother fonts
- a status indicator for waiting or connected
- key hints along the bottom, such as
Hold EscExit
