Okay, if I'm understanding this right, this really will be amazing! So, right now, I have stable BRLTTY. I tried connecting a Focus 40 display, and it automagically worked with BRLTTY, even though I’ve *never* connected or used one before. Space with H and I was on my way to understanding it. I just wish Emacs was better suited to braille usage. Anyways, will it work the same way with bluetooth, I.E. connect the display to the computer through bluetooth, and BRLTTY automatically connects to it, as it does with bluetooth? It’d be a little more work, but wireless is pretty useful. Dave Mielke <[email protected]> writes:
