Are you referring to the Android accessibilitiy gestures that move to the 
next/previous screen element?

Could you please remind me regarding which keys the Focyus Blue has? I'm 
guessing that it has the left/right nav rockers, but I'd like to be sure. Also, 
which keys are on the front? I need to ask because I've never had or borrowed 
one, and because brltty's tables don't specifically identify it as being 
special.

This is a separate issue. There's a required feature known as Explore by Touch. 
While brltty doesn't need the touch gestures, it does rely on the accessibility 
focus feature which, rather than being a separate and independent capability, 
happens to be maintained within Explore by Touch. The difficulty is that it 
gets complicated when two different accessibility services (in this case, 
brltty and talkback) both need it. I'll have another look at getting this to 
work better from brltty's perspective.
