A question of motivation: why would you want to accept keyboard commands when
the braille display is not connected? Is it to change the configuration before
re-connecting?

I can understand why support for keyboard commands would be desirable - some
braille displays might not provide enough keys and switches of their own to
cover the full set of BRLTTY commands.
