[BRLTTY] brltty for android and the focus 14

[yRylan Vroom]

Hi Mario, thanks for sending that key table along. What's throwing me
off is, my focus 14 blue does not have wheels of any kind, they
neither press, nor spin, nor... exist. :) According to FS, the wheels
were replaced with panning rockers on the top surface of the display.
But I am unable to navigate between lines of text because I am unable
to perform the "wheel press" part of the keys required. Also, in the
key table, what does GDF stand for? cheers

Rylan
