Hi My reply is a bit of off-topic on this list, but it might interest some readers.

It is a tool which does not write anything to the TTY, but only communicates with the user using BrlAPI. My program supports (at the moment) only one bookmark per file. It has a limited built-in text editor (for correcting spelling mistakes), an English to Finnish dictionary lookup tool, and it supports regex-searching across files. Its features make up a bit odd combination, because I just implemented what I myself needed. The tool is not available anywhere, because its keybindings are very weird. That is due to BRLTTY's command set. For example I have bound KEY_CMD_INFO to go back to previous navigation context, because KEY_CMD_INFO has been bound to a convenient key on my Focus Blue display in my personal BRLTTY configuration. I consider updating my application, if BrlAPI's command key handling improves. One useful thing about my program is that I never need to hit PageDown or care about long lines wider than the terminal. -- Aura _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
