[quoted lines by Vincent Le Goff on 2021/01/01 at 15:13 +0100] >The original key binding for the braille display I'm using (activbraille from >Handytech) doesn't seem to work for most things, including opening the >preferences and saving them.
Do you mean that they don't work at all? If that's true then I'd sure like to have a look at a debug log that's captured while brltty starts. -ldebug will be good enough in this case. Please also use -L/path/to/logfile (this L is uppercase) so that brltty will write its log separately to a known file. >The problem comes after that: in the preferences, I've noted that my >overridden bindings don't work, so I have to use the "older" ones, the >default ones, while in the menu. That's understandable. But since the >default binding for "save the preferences" doesn't work for me, I can't save >these preferences. I can close them just fine but of course, on restart, most >of them are wiped clean. Which is strange because the "save preferences on >exit" is indeed set to "yes" by default, and some preferences seem to have >survived a reboot. Not sure why, but the Braille table is definitely one I >have to update each time. This is an old issue. The tables (text, contraction, attributes, keyboard) aren't saved and must be specified within brltty.conf. I suppose this should be fixed, but I haven't yet found a good answer to a question: If a table is specified both as a saved preference and in brltty.conf then which selection should win? I suppose the preference should win, but users would then wonder why changing it in brltty.conf has no effect. -- 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.
