[quoted lines by [email protected] on 2018/11/12 at 16:39 -0500] It's very common for the length of a braille display to be less than the screen width. Since longer displays are usually more expensive, it's very common for a person to opt for spending less money for a shorter display. They come in lots of sizes. The ones that come to mind at the moment are: 8, 12, 14, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 70, 80, 88.
There are two brltty commands - FWINRT for moving one display length to the right, and FWINLT for moving one display length to the left - that are meant for this very purpose. They're even designed to wrap - FWINRT wraps to the start of the next line, and FWINLT wraps to the end of the previous line. A useful third command - LNBEG - goes to the start of the current line. Looking at the PB80 bindings, I can see that all these three have been defined, but they aren't the easiest to use. This is probably because, back in those days (the PB is a rather old model), it was very common for the text screen width to be 80 characters so the designer(s) of these bindings probably felt that moving up/down by lines was more generally useful. The bindings you're looking for are: FWINRT: Button4 FWINLT: Button3 LNBEG: LeftRockerUp + Button3 -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: [email protected] | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: +1 613 726 0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
