[BRLTTY] Saving configuration

Hi everyone,

And happy new year!  I'm facing a very small issue in BRLTTY. The 
original key binding for the braille display I'm using (activbraille 
from Handytech) doesn't seem to work for most things, including opening 
the preferences and saving them. Besides I wasn't too happy with the 
original bindings so I updated some of them.  I can open the preferences 
(great!) and change whatever I want in them.

The problem comes after that: in the preferences, I've noted that my 
overridden bindings don't work, so I have to use the "older" ones, the 
default ones, while in the menu.  That's understandable.  But since the 
default binding for "save the preferences" doesn't work for me, I can't 
save these preferences. I can close them just fine but of course, on 
restart, most of them are wiped clean.  Which is strange because the 
"save preferences on exit" is indeed set to "yes" by default, and some 
preferences seem to have survived a reboot.  Not sure why, but the 
Braille table is definitely one I have to update each time.

It's not really much of a problem, but I would like to understand it a 
bit more.  Any suggestion?

Thanks!

Vincent
