Hi, I'm thinking of trying Plover, however, I will be using it for work via the Rev transcription editor. I will need to be able to use the tab, tab+shift, and the up and down arrow keys. Can I do that with Plover and one of your steno machines? Can you leave your regular keyboard connected as well?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, of course!

Define tab as {#Tab}
Define shift-tab as {#Shift_L(Tab)}
Define down arrow as {#Down}

I like to use T*AB, SHA*B, and STPH-G, but use whatever strokes you like!

You can do it with a commercial steno machine, as long as its protocol is supported by Plover, or you can do it with an n-key rollover qwerty keyboard or with the Stenoboard. If you use a commercial steno machine or the Stenoboard connected via TX or PR protocol, you can use your regular qwerty keyboard normally. If you use an n-key rollover keyboard, you'll have to turn Plover off by clicking the green P until it turns red before you can use your regular keyboard, but you can keep them both connected.
