Although it doesn't hurt to do that, i.e. to make sure that brltty doesn't ignore the keyboard, I actually meant a setting within the Brailliant BI's internal menu. >but I'm not getting any indication (alerts/messages etc) as to whether it is >enabled, was already enabled etc, even after I went into the Preferences and >changed Alert Dots and Alert Messages to Yes. That wasn't necessary as no alert dots or messages are defined for that event. You should've heard a confirming alert tune, though. The tune is ascending when a setting is enabled and descending when it's disabled. If the setting is already the way you're trying to change it then you'll hear the tune twice. >But what's more puzzling is, when I'm reading the Help >screen via my phone with the Brailliant, I'm getting different commands - for >example: enter/leave help display: ControlLeft+ShiftLeft+KP0+KP8. (Or maybe >KP7 - I wasn't completely sure, as one of the dots in the corresponding cell >seemed to be faint, so it's a bit flady.) What is this KP even referring to? You must have a keyboard table enabled. If so, there are two help screens - one for the braille device and one for the keyboard. The Space+h binding cycles through both of them. I just checked. I'd forgotten (it's been so long), but a keyboard table is indeed enabled when on Android. This isn't necessary, and, as you've found out, I can see how confusing it is. I'll remove that for the next Android release. Thank you for reminding me about it. It's probably a leftover from way back when Android development for brltty was very, very young. -- 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.
