If you use BRLTTY's BrailleNote [bn] driver then it just works. You do,
however, need to use the right key bindings to switch into input mode since the
driver starts up in navigate mode. Have a look at the help files in the
BrailleDrivers/BrailleNote/ subdirectory.

That's sopmething differnet. Being able to use a BrailleNote as a system
keyboard works without that change.
