Why not. :)

Possibly, yes. But woulnd't there also be kind of a time out
consideration to distinguish short from long press?

Also, I imagine all the modern braille displays do send codes for both
presses and releases? Still I know old displays which did not do that
and only sent one code, either when the key was pressed or when it was
released. But that, if correct, does certainly not prevent the
introduction of a commmand for doing bracketed paste.
