Guys, I'm beginning to hate brltty for android. I think I was expecting something a bit more polished because of the version number and first impressions have been very unsatisfactory. Hopefully you can help me out with some things and get me back on track. I'm determined to make brltty work if at all possible.
I'm using a humanware brailleconnect 32 on a google nexus 4 which I just bought a couple of weeks ago. I'm reading the help screen and most of the key bindings are hellatiously counterintuitive. Can I get in and change them in a config file somewhere? They are driving me up the wall. Can I get brltty to save my preference for grade two output? I have my text table set to canadian english and my translation table set to english grade two. I pressed display keys 2, 3, and 5, which inexplicably is the hotkey to change the display to grade two. So, the display shows grade two until I turn off the display and device. When I turn them back on, I'm back in grade one. I've tried saving the settings to disk with display 2, 4, 5,, 6, but it still reverts to grade one. Since I apparently have the settings saved, I should be able to restore them from disk with display 1, 2, 3, 5, but pressing that combination renders nothing. Is there a grade two input option at the moment? I suspect not. I haven't seen anything about it so far in the help screen and there's no settings button beside brltty input service to change things like the input grade and language. There's supposed to be a learning mode accessible by display keys 1, 4, 5, and 6, but pressing that combination only freezes the display for 30 seconds to a minute. During that time the braille won't change. Neither will the display respond to any key presses. After some time, the display will go back to being a display. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I get playing around. Thanks for any help, and have a relaxing weekend.
