[BRLTTY] Key combinations not (yet?) handled by the Linux virtual console

[Jason J.G. White]

I noticed the following article on Phoronix:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Fedora-44-Considers-KMSCON

Better keyboard support is among the features mentioned of the 
user-space implementation.

If this is where Linux console support is headed, we'll need to ensure 
that BRLTTY is supported, and (to the point of this thread), any 
keyboard handling project should at least consider the implications of 
the move discussed in the article (deprecating the kernel's virtual 
console implementation appears to be an option they're contemplating).
