The help text is constructed from a number of sources, including the tables
within Tables/Input/, the tables within Programs/ktb_cmds.c, etc.
Brltty calls internal code to construct the help screen, but there's also a
command (brltty-ktb) for reading the key tables. Also, you can read them on the
web, so there's no actual need to generate them for yourself:
Goto to: brltty.com
Click on: Documentation
Click on: Key Binding Lists

Yes. You need to specify the contraction table that you'd like to use, and
then, to active it, switch Text Style to 6-dots.
