I believe those commands would be device specific.
What braille display will you use?
you can google "brltty commands display-name."
But I don't mind noing it if it's a problem for you.

Hello all,

Although I have been using Android since March of 2015, I am very new to the 
Brltty app and to this list, so I hope that I am asking this question in the 
right place.

Yesterday I installed the Brltty app for Android. I have a BraillePen 12 Touch 
display from a company called Harpo. Although Brltty does not have the drivers 
for this particular display, I was able to pair it using the auto-detect 
function. However I don't know any of the commands to go to the previous and 
next item, jump to top or to bottom of the screen etc. I have a faulty joystick 
on my display, and I can't seem to get it into the down position for some 
reason, and even when I flick it to the left or to the right, it does not go to 
the previous or next item. Thus, I have difficulty reading through apps such as 
the Play Store and AquaMail, which is the app that I use to read my emails. I 
tried using Dots 1 chord through Dot 6 chord individually to move forward or 
backwards one item at a time, but they didn't seem to be consistent. I tried 
reading the blurb on the Brltty website on Using Brltty for Android, and there 
doesn't seem to be any specific documentation to clarify this. I 
 would like to suspend TalkBack and use Brltty without having to depend on 
TalkBack to navigate and read the screen from top to bottom. Perhaps there is 
something that I am not doing correctly? In the Brltty actions menu, when I go 
to read the user guide, Brltty crashes, and I get that all too familiar 
message: "Unfortunately, Brltty has stopped." Running Brltty on an RCA Viking 
Pro tablet running Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Could anyone on the list please send me a copy of the user guide for Brltty for 
Android off list? Does Brltty have a list of Braille keyboard shortcuts for 
navigating?

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!

Kind regards,

Siena.
