[BRLTTY] Call for testing: Touch navigation on Handy Tech devices

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

This is likely especially interesting to those of you who use on of the
following Braille Display models:

  * Handy Tech Modular Evolution 64/88
  * Handy Tech Active Braille
  * Handy Tech Active Star 40

We finally came around to implementing touch navigation.  Since Handy
Tech devices with ATC technology can transmit to the host which braille
cells are being touched, BRLTTY can now track what you have
already read, and automatically go to the next non-blank window if you
have finished reading the current line.  This means you can read several
lines of text without having to invoke a single keypress.

This feature is rather new, and possible has a few kinks still.
You can test if by changing the touch related preferences menu items in
the input preference menu.  On Handy Tech devices that support ATC,
toggling the automatic scrolling behaviour has been bound to
B1+B4+LeftSpace.  IOW, Chord-UpperCase-A.

If you experiment with this, make sure to play with the touch
sensitivity setting in the preferences menu.  For now, I am having best
results with "Maximum" touch sensitivity.  This probably depends very
much on your style of reading.

Let me know what you think.
