[BRLTTY] [slight off-topic] Computer Braille on Android

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry to post this query on the list. It's hardly the topic though 
it does seem like Android is using BRLTTY (at least partly) behind the 
scenes. I doubt whether I can update Braille table by updating a 
brltty.conf somewhere though.

That being said, I fail to find a setting to set my Braille table to 
computer (dot-8). It's consistently, somewhat maddeningly in g1 (6 
dots). I only seem to have the setting to toggle between g1 and g2 (no 
computer Braille mode). I'm not sure why (I'm using the French Braille 
table, which might be the issue, but I've been told by a user of the 
same table that a solution existed... I just fail to find it).

The last note though: if there's indeed access to the configuration 
through the file system, do let me know. Again, I'm fairly sure I won't 
find a brlttyconf since, since TalkBack doesn't (fully?) t pone never knows!

Thanks in advance,

Vincent
