Hi Dave, and thank you for your reply. Yes, I have checked in the
Brailliant BI's internal menu and the keyboard is definitely on; and I
enabled the tones in BRLTTY's Preferences (which I had previously turned
off), and when I then tried the BRLTTY command for enabling the
keyboard, the ascending tune sounded twice.
Regards
Vivien

I tried the command Space+Dots138 for enabling the Braille keyboard,
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.
