Yes, I just tried it again, investigating the effect of focus on the input of
keys, and I discovered that focus does not seem to make any difference.
However, while I was fooling with focus I allowed some time to pass with BrlTTY
running by itself, and discovered that about 15 seconds after starting BrlTTY
the perkins key input starts working again. So perhaps it is a transitional
state where the alva's keyboard driver is trying to figure itself out.
So just to see what happened, I started my application and waited a minute or
so before attempting perkins input, but, unfortunately it still does not allow
input.
But, you are correct: it appears that BrlTTY by itself is not preventing
keyboard input.

Could you please reverify that keyboard input always doesn't work before you
use BrlAPI for the first time? This, to me, is unexpected. Starting/stopping
BrlAPI use does absolutely nothing to impact whether or not the driver will
recognize keyboard events and/or the core will handle them.
Could the actual difference, perhaps, be where the focus is?
