You asked, in an earlier message, where to send the key events. My
recommendation is to create a new (additional) ekyboard input device since
<linux/input-event-codes.h> defines KEY_BRL_DOT1 through KEY_BRL_DOT10. I'm not
sure what dots 9 and 10 were intended for, but you could use KEY_BRL_DOT9 for
space.
Brltty has support for reading from a keyboard input device so that might be
the easiest way. We could easily add a keyboard table to interpret those key
codes.
