Yes. In "normal mode" all keystrokes are send to the current console 
program (normal kernel operation) and brass (by patch), in a "special 
mode" (triggered by shift+shift) keystrokes are sent to brass only. This 
is needed to control the speech cursor without disturbing the program 
running on the console.

Where? With the possibility to disconnect the programm running at the 
console?

Moving the speech cursur, cut&paste, reading attribute values (color etc.)

Brass works without the patch, but in this case you cant move the speech 
cursor independent of the system cursor and the automatic cursor 
movements.
