That'd be a configuration nightmare. If you can convince the Orca people to add that kind of serious maintenance overhead to their project then more power to you. Or, maybe, you could join the Orca team and implement it for yourself and then hang around forever to keep it up-to-date.

I rather suspect tht the Orca people are rather content to have brltty do that work for them. It's not only easier for them, but also gives their braille users a reasonably common user experience between text and graphics modes.

You mentioned, in anotehr response, that other screen readers process the braille device key events directly. That, of course, is because they have to do so because there's no intermediary to do it for them. That's why Braille HID has been developed even though any kind of close look at it shows that it really is rather poor.
