Please make such a feature configurable. I often copy password, ssh keys 
or whatever with brltt's copy and paste functionality and there I do not 
want extra characters to be inserted when pasting the content :-).

What I really miss with brltty is the possebility to mark the text I'd 
like to copy just by pressing two routing buttons on my braille device. 
I used sbl before and there this worked.

Example: I have a text wich is presented on one line on my braille 
device. The text starts at position 20 and ends onposition 40. With sbl 
I was able to press routing key 20 and routing key 40 together and the 
text was added to the cliphboard very quickly and super easily. With 
brltty I need two key combination to copy content in such situations. I 
am aware that such a function will only work if all the text that should 
be copied has to be presented on the braille device and for other 
situations, where the text is longer or even more lines, the current 
copy functionality is fine for me, but very in many situations I only 
have to copy short text and then such a functionality would be great.
