For the record, about every DOS driver for any braille display
I ever used had something to let the user reconfigure key bindings.
This is something vendors usually implemented since their users wanted it.
Some used a dedicated bindings configuration file, and some even
allowed the user to change bindings interactively.
One of our drivers (pm) allows this, but it was generally agreed upon
that duplicating this functionality in every driver is wasteful.
But a generic mechanism hasn't been devised yet.
