To me, this is a problem as a user may wish to switch which characters are
included depending on what he's doing, i.e. is he reading/editing text or code.
Let's just look, for examle, at the parentheses. While it may make sense to
include parentheses for text, doing that might be awkward for code. A common
way to write code, for example, is "name(arg1, arg2)". The first word would be
"name(arg1," when it'd probably be better to slpit that into three words -
"name", "(", "arg1,".
And, if he wants to change between different character sets then he'd need to
restart brltty with different options.

Holding the key combination for at least a half a second (the duration is
configurable).
