Thanks. This example helps a lot. What you're really asking for is that a 
change to the screen dismisses the message. It can't be related to the typing 
because, were you not using a keyboard table, brltty wouldn't even be aware of 
your typing. I think your request makes sense even if a keyboard table isn't 
being used.

So this still leaves us with a qiestion. What if you want to read the message 
but an unexpected scfreen update dismisses it before you're done?
