Hello! Window-Eyes 6.x have the possibility of turning braille off in the set file which is loaded when you start cmd.exe (the command prompt). You can then start BRLTTY, eventually with the -r (release) option. If you, however, alt-tab to another app., braille from Window-Eyes is not reactivated automatically. I think the reason is that the communication port is not freed up fast enough so that Window-Eyes is able to use it. The only way to unload BRLTTY completely, as far as I know, is to, from the console window, press alt-space to bring up the system menu, and select 'close'.
A question is: Could the BRLTTY's release function be tied to the alt key when in the console window? In case, I think the port will be free early enough for Window-Eyes. Other or better solutions?
