I don't think I'd updated the apk. This has now been done. Please upgrade to it
and try setting the braille driver to ic.

Note that the Bluetooth bindings are fewer, and also different from the USB
ones. When you use Bluetooth, use Space+r (dots 1235) for help.

Yes, I changed it to Dot7+Dot6 in order to save the letter r for later.

That's not a problem. The key to the left of Space is Dot7, and the one to the
right is Dot8. Those dot keys can still be typed even though their
corresponding dots can't be displayed. Also, the fact that a key may officially
correspsond to a dot has nothing at all to do with how it's used within a key
combinati9on that involves other (non-dot) keys.
