[BRLTTY] Change Braille Table in Arch Linux Console

[Life in Six Dots]

Hello Jason,

 

Thank-you for the response. It’s good to know that it is possible to change the braille tables in the console of Arch. I will attempt your suggestions in the morning together with spending more time with help and preferences. I’m finding it challenging to both learn Linux and BRLTTY at the same time.

 

I am familiar with the terminology of chord etc … I should point out that I am currently experimenting with Linux using an old Brailliant B 80 which does not have a Perkins-Style keyboard.

 

Many thanks, Paul

Firstly, is it possible to change the braille table within Arch Linux Console from the default North American Braille Computer Code to Grade 2 UEB?  



In the BRLTTY Preferences menu, change the Braille Variant to Contracted Braille, and remember to enable save on Exit.

On my display, the command to enter the Preferences menu is dots 1-2-3-4 + Space (i.e., p-chord, if you're familiar with that terminology).

If it is possible to change the braille table to Grade 2 UEB is there a way that I can switch between en-ueb-g2 and en-nabcc tables on the fly?

Yes - on my display it's dots 1-2-4-5 + Space. Check the BRLTTY help information for your display to learn the commands assigned.

Also, spend some time in the Preferences menu to customize BRLTTY as you prefer.
