Re: [orca-list] Adding Braille Keybindings

["Teresa Cochran" <pipistrelle cox net>]

Hello, Will,

I wasn't thinking so much of emulating typing, but more of making it 
possible to indicate that a Braille input key combination be used for a 
specific function, and have the option of using these keys as alternatives 
for the keyboard keys. Say, simulation of arrow keys, Braille panning, tab, 
enter, etc.

Thanks,
Teresa
