[BRLTTY] Moving to the side by the size of the display

I have a kind of display that I refer to as a "fast character display". It's
a very simple kind of display, I just have 8 solenoids (those are 
electromagnets that move rods up and down) and a row of 12 touch sensors. 
When I touch one of the sensors, the solenoids display a braille character. 
So I can read by dragging my finger along the sensors, just as you read by 
dragging your finger allong the braille cells. I put one hand on the 
solenoids, and drag with my index finger on my other hand. It works, but is 
rather too slow to be practical.

I have a keypad on my computer, but with or without numlock turned on, the 
keybindings that are listed don't seem to be bound. Do I need to change some
configuration option in order for them to be bound? Currently, when I type 
KP0 in the console, a zero appears on the screen. And KP0+KP6 does nothing 
more than type 0 and 6.

Thanks for your time,
Tim

It'd be best if you were to switch to using brltty.com(http://brltty.com) 
(instead of 
mielke.cc/brltty(http://mielke.cc/brltty)) instead.

Are you able to use the keypad bindings? They're far more versatile.
