Mantis Q40 Keystrokes on QWERTY keyboard

Braille on Apple Products

I've just unboxed my new mantis and am wondering how to go about using keystrokes for operating my iPhone with the Qwerty keboard. Is it only possible to do this with the device in Braille mode and if so, can I toggle between braille for navigating and Qwerty for typing whilst connected to the phone?
I've checked in settings and am only seeing Braille commands, but I know that doesn't mean that alternatives don't exist.

Hi,
Awesome you just got your mantis up and running. You’re going to use the same commands you would use if you were using a regular Bluetooth keyboard. One of the things I recommend changing would be making the VO key or voiceover key into your capslock key this is found under accessibility and then keyboard settings. Here is a list of keyboard commands with voiceover that you can use. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/use-voiceover-with-an-apple-external-keyboard-iph6c494dc6/ios

Thanks so much for the explanation and the link, that's a very comprehensive list. I can't wait to crack on with it all now.
