Hello,

> Sorry, I misspoke in my previous email.
> I do not know if it is possible but I would like to recover the name 
> of the keys and not their action.
> For example on a VarioUltra, I use the function keys D1-D5 (time 
> action BRLTTY).
> I wish I had the names of the keys directly.
> To return to my previous example, I would also like the user to press:
> dot1+dot3+dot4+space or PASSDOTS=25+SPACE
> I would like the information and not the BRLTTY action.
> Actualy, if space is not pressed, PASSDOTS catch 25 but if space is 
> pressed the BRLTTY action is catched.
>
> I do not know if I'm more explicit.

> thank you in advance
