Re: [orca-list] Braille display keys

[Vincent LE GOFF <vincent legoff srs gmail com>]

Hi,

I answer to my own message, because it might help others.  My Braille 
display keys didn't work because I had configured BRLTTY to skip blank 
lines and skip identical lines.  Therefore, my navigation keys were 
connected to BRLTTY commands that Orca didn't interpret. I turned off 
these options and the keys work perfectly well.

Hope that helps,

Vincent
