>I am using the Latex-Access table from Brltty. My display is a Braille Edge.
>1) How can I make sure that the table is being called?
First: You need to tell brltty that that's the contraction table you wish to be
using. You can do this either via the -c command line option:
-c latex-access
or via the contraction-table brltty.conf directive:
contraction-table latex-access
Second: You need to ensure that the table itself:
/etc/brltty/Contraction/latex-access.ctb
is executable.
Third: To tell brltty to use it, you need to set the Text Style to 6-Dots. On a
Braille Edge:
set text style to 6-dots with: Space+Dots235
set text style to 8-dots with: Space+Dots236
>2) I need to send ctrl-m from the edge to toggle math mode on and off.
I'm not understanding this one. See above for how to do it.
>When I use the control key on the Edge "F5" it appears to send a line feed as
>the cursor jumps down a line.
I'm not sure if it matters or not, but are you doing this on Linux or on
Windows?
A Control-M is a carriage return, so one would expect it to end the current
input line. I'm finding it hard to imagine, therefore, that any user interface
would use a carriage return to toggle one of its features on/off.
