Yes, that is it.

Yes. The scenario is that one would bind such a function to the braille display
and then one can enable contraction +this functionality and read fluently
without interruption.

Ah, that was Eric. It might be a good idea to try out those, since right control
and right shift aren't used by any of the screen readers known to me.

Indeed, for Orca. I don't use Speakup (and I'll never be, since BRLTTY does a
even better job).

Ok, but then we should always have a close look at what key bindings are used by
which screen reader. AFAIK, e. g. Orca Caps+d for date/time access and BRLTTY
uses it to describe a character.

For all. I've changed the key table, which worked in 4.2 and I just copied it
to the 4.4. If you could have a look, we could at least exclude this as the
problem.
I've attached it to this mail.

Thanks!
