Say, rather, why I would like to have it: To have a stable user
interface regardless of which braille display I happen to be using. To
have things work even if parts of said display are broken or
unreliable. In case brltty doesn't support that display the way I want
it to be supported. *

And, a law that ought to have somebody's name associated with it:
Anything that _can_ be done _will_ be done.

* I have an Alva BC640. It can be used both online and offline. To be
consistent I want autorepeat to be enabled in the device itself so I
have repeating keys in both modes. But brltty can't handle repeating
keys, thus making the copy buffer unusable without resetting that
function. So I'd like to use the keypad for all functions to get away
from this limitation.
