Is there a plan to disclose exactly which keys/controls on the braille 
device were pressed? I think this is what screen reader developers 
really want to know, so the user doesn't have to know anything about 
BRLTTY's console-level commands and how they're mapped to the physical 
controls of the device. The screen reader should be able to handle the 
mapping of physical controls to screen reader operations, but to do 
that, BRLTTY would need to reveal information about the underlying 
hardware controls.

I'm not making a request here. I'm just asking what the evolutionary 
trajectory is or should be.
