[orca-list] contracted braille

[josh techlab cviatlanta org]

Hi all,
Could you all sumarize for me what your problems have been so far so that I don't have to re-invent the wheel 
or bang my 
head against the same walls? <grin>  My idea basically is to allow the user to access the preferences menu on 
the 
braille display, and toggle contracted braille, cursor style/presentation from there instead of trying to 
make orca do 
it.  It makes sense to me to let brltty do all the grunt work so that orca can fulfill its goal of blending 
seemlessly 
with other assistive technologies.  As of now, pressing the key combination for the preferences menu lets me 
have that 
menu for a few seconds, then I am returned to whatever the current app happens to be.  I would like to have 
orca simply  
do nothing when it sees the brlprefmenu command.  Have you all tried this?
Cheers,
Josh
