Brltty doesn't support typing in contracted braille. For input, only computer braille is supported. More technically, typing is always based on the currently selected text table. For output: There's a six-dot mode setting. If it's off then output is in computer braille, i.e. it's based on the current text table. If it's on then output is in literary (contracted) braille, i.e. it's based on the current contraction table. You can specify the text table with the -t command line option or via the text-table brltty.conf directive. You can specify the contraction table with the -c command line option or via the contraction-table brltty.conf directive. My opinion is that it's far better to specify what you want within brltty.conf rather than to mess with command line options in boot scripts. You can turn on six-dot mode, i.e. you can switch to literary (contractec) output, with Space+Dots235 (a nemeth 6). You can turn off six-dot mode, i.e. you can switch to computer (8-dot) braille, with Space+Dots236 (a nemeth 8). -- 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.
