Thanks. This example helps a lot. What you're really asking for is that a change to the screen dismisses the message. It can't be related to the typing because, were you not using a keyboard table, brltty wouldn't even be aware of your typing. I think your request makes sense even if a keyboard table isn't being used. So this still leaves us with a qiestion. What if you want to read the message but an unexpected scfreen update dismisses it before you're done? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | http://Mielke.cc/ Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | http://Mielke.cc/bible/ EMail: [email protected] | Canada K2A 1H7 | The Bible is the very Word of God. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
