Exactly. I would suggest taking the cautious approach of leaving it turned off
unless the user decides to invoke it. After all, for most braille displays,
BRLTTY functions perfectly well without taking over keys on the keyboard, and
the consequences of its not working correctly could be very unpleasant for the
user, as in, I can't use the keyboard at all.

As an aside, what happens if BRLTTY segfaults or is killed while this is
active?
