Yes, it does, but the feature is new in 5.6 (the most recent release). It's called Track Screen Scroll, which you can find within the Navigation submenu. When it's enabled, brltty will stay on the current line as it moves up the screen. You'll hear a short alert tune each time that happens. -- I believe the Bible to be the very Word of God: http://Mielke.cc/bible/ Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | WebHome: http://Mielke.cc/ EMail: d...@mielke.cc | Ottawa, Ontario | Twitter: @Dave_Mielke Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Canada K2A 1H7 | ___ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.

[BRLTTY] only bad thing about brltty
Wonderful program--I would be lost without it. For reading an unmoving screen it can't be beat. But when I am chatting it moves to the next line with each new message as the screen updates. So I have to hit space-f to freeze the screen and such. I wish brltty had a chat mode such that the word On the display does not change every time the screen moves. Is such a thing possible? ___ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
