They both behave as alt keys. In windows (and in the Linux gui in some apps) pressing alt by itself brings up the menu bar, or ribbon--in windows.
when brltty detects that your braille device has a qwerty keyboard, why doesn't it let the alt keys act as alt keys, when there is already a shift key to capitalize letters? It seems to me that when brltty sees a key not bound to one of its functions, it should just pass that key onto the operating system. Or is that something to do wit the fact that the operating system doesn't see a braille device as a normal HID?
