Ever since MBraille got released back in 2013 I really saw a potential for using some of the powerful dot-commands from a regular Braille display, or perhaps from a Bluetooth keyboard.

For years I never opened message, phone or Safari when I wanted to either send a message, dial phone number or open a website/search for something. All of this was done through mbraille's interface.

What I really would want to see is a very simple structure where the user can type in text either from a Braille display or a keyboard into a multiline text field.

There should be a Done/OK button and a Cancel button at the top of the screen.

This would allow the user to type or paste text into the field, even execute the older dot commands.

So I could type a message and end it by:

.sms John

When the OK button is pressed MBraille should receive the content from the edit field, and performe the command, as if the content was done via MBraille itself.

I know we on iOS has apps like Drafts, where actions and shortcuts can be run directly from the app, but I would really use this myself in many different cases:

If I want to dial someone, just open MBraille, enter the number via my display and get the call going just via MBraille.

If I want to message someone just open MBraille, type the message and send it via the .sms command.
