[orca-list] orca/braille



Hi, 

Braille is working really well with orca, but I have a few questions:
1. When using emacs (console based version, in other words, not the gtk
one), my cursor routing keys don't move the cursor like they would
normally if I was just using brltty. 
So, how does orca handle things when a cursor routing button is pressed?
Could it be made to simulate the press of the right or left arrow keys,
x amount of times depending on what routing button was pressed, and
where abouts the cursor is. Like brltty does I think. 
Being able to do this from within emacs
would be really handy.
2. Would it be possible to impliment functions such as:
- cut and paste using the display
- Skip blank/identical lines like in brltty
- Freeze/don't_follow_cursor functions
3. Messages that are voiced such as, where am I, "Run" when the run
dialog is launched, and other important pop up messages, could these be
displayed in braille? Perhaps for a certain amount of seconds before the
display would return to standard output, eg. the document that is in
focus. Perhaps as a setting that can be adjusted on reading speed, etc.

These are just suggestions, I'm not sure if any of this has been
implemented, but has it been considered? If no one else is working on
such features, I would be happy to have a go at it, what files would I
start looking at once I familiarise myself with python?

Thanks,
Dan.
