Nice to read.

Sounds also well for me under the condition that if the user has saved a set of
marks, these are restored automatically after a restart of Brltty.
I fully agree, that a keyboard only shortcut is enough but I think, if you add a
"save marks" function you also need a "restore default marks" one which means:
bring all markers back into the first line.

Both approaches would work for me so it's up to you if you want to implement
that and if so which solution you prefer.

Best Regards
