We could assign control characters to braille display commands. We might even be able to implement the special key escape sequences. Neitehr of these has been done, yet, though. >What is typing other characters supposed to do? Typing characters should enqueue them as input. Maybe, given that you're using a serial port emulator, it's hard to tell the difference between typed input and echoed input. One way to be sure, though, would be to see if what you're typing also shows up in braille. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.

We need ncurses to get the codes for these keys right. Only plain text keys can work without ncurses. > What is typing other characters supposed to do? Simulate pressing the corresponding key on the PC keyboard. But that can only work when using the Linux screen driver or running xbrlapi. And of course you risk getting a loop :) since the simulated keypress event will probably go into the xterm where you are running the TTY braille driver, and thus simulating it again, etc. Samuel ___ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.

That patch is now committed to the repository. Without ncurses, it does not react on keyboard inputs, but neither does the original code which had no dots. Are you using a serial port with an external device, a virtual tty, or what? Could you please post the output of "stty -a -F /dev/whatever" while brltty is ruhnning without ncurses? ___ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
