Hi brltty-List! After 15 years a new braille device "Focus 14" arrived at Christmas for my blind brother. It took myself - a senior programmer - more than two days of reverse engineering to make the new braille display usable to my brother.
Why? Not because of technical problems. It's just the lack of a terminology and a diagram for not blind persons. I dig into the config of brltty and it all is clear and straight - if someone knows where the keys "LeftGdf" or "LeftWheelUp" are located on the physical device. Also the documentation of the individual key bindings descriptions are misleading: go up one line: LeftWheelUp If I read "go up one line" I imagine the cursor to go up. But in this case only the reading focus goes up one line but not the cursor. Overall I miss the great picture on what is going on. There is no meta document that discribes the difference between cursor and reading focus movement and this crucial difference is also not reflected in the terminology of the config files. Complaints do not make things better. I like to contribute. You may find a graphical documentation of the BRLTTY Key-Bindings to the physical keys on the FS Focus 14 here: https://inqbus-hosting.de/volker/focus_14_doku.odg/at_download/file I distribute this file under the by-nc-sa creative commons license. Tell me how to contribute more ..
