As far as I know, there are no keystrokes for this in Brltty, at least
in the console mode.
So such a command should be implemented in the GUI mode.
However: Most Brltty keys can be used to navigate in Orca, so we could
use those, that are not working in the GUI.
This however depends on the braille display one uses, so I think there
can no general definitions be made.
In my case, I use a Alva Satellite 544, and the satellite keys do
nothing in Orca, but they are used in text mode.
So one could think about using them for the suggested keystrokes.
But: Are this commands Brltty or Orca commands?
If the latter is the case, I think the best way would be to let the user
define which keystroke to use on his/her specific display. does Orca provide
this possibility? I remember having seen braille keystrokes in Orca's
keybindings tab. If so, can these commands be defined display specific?
