[BRLTTY] Doing swipe left and right on Focus40 Blu

[Daniel Gartmann]

Hi Dave,

The new Focus40 Blu has 1 rocker button at each end of the braille line and
a selector button (round) above each rocker button. The rocker buttons
replaced the wiz wheel on the classic model.

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.
