Hey Volker! Veyr nice e-mail, very nice question! thanks!
It's not that often that sighted persons try to work with blind persons in such a close way and I am guessing this is why the tools are not more developed than they are now. It's still impressiing how you have dived deeply into the topic. As you may or may not know, there is already a feature to highlight on screen the window which is currently displayed in braille. Not sure whether that works through tmux or not but would be curious to hear about it in both cases. In a similar way, it should in theory be possible to mark on-screen the text as it gets selected. However, it may be difficult to make the feature work in a consistent way because, once the text is in brltty's clipboard, it remains there even when no longer on screen. So I imagine it would be possible to highlight the beginning of the selected text, and then perhaps also its end, but then the sighted user would have no clue on whether it's a linear or rectangular "cut", whether it's getting accumulated in the clipboard or whether it replaces the current clipboard content. So the feature already seems challenging to design. Perhaps more challenging to design than to actually implement, once the design has been decided. I am eager to reading input from others, more advanced and experienced users and developers from the list.
