Yes, and Dave's suggestion to use -kkeypad will allow you to do just that. If you instruct BRLTTY to load a keyboard key table, it will snoop on all the keypresses from your normal computer keyboard, and catch does keypresses which are defined in your keyboard key table. Those keys not defined in your keyboard key table will be forwarded as usual to the system, while those defined in your keyboard key table will only trigger the corresponding BRLTTY command, and not be forwarded to the operating system kernel. This is, in fact, one of the most useful features added to BRLTTY in the recent years. I, for instance, use a Sun Microsystems Type 6 USB keyboard, which has roughly 20 extra keys on it which you normally do not find on a computer keyboard. All these keys can be freely configured with BRLTTY keyboard key tables, without me having to even worry about any key conflicts. For a quick overview of which key combinations will be available with a keypad keyboard key table, you can either read /etc/brltty/Keyboard/keypad.ktb with your favourite text editor or pager. Alternatively, you can instruct BRLTTY to load the keypad key table, and view all the bindings with the BRLTTY Help Menu. If a keyboard key table is loaded, a second invokation of the corresponding HELP command will provide you with a listing of all bindings specific to your computer keyboard. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
