Brltty Users!</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I have
some stupid questions concerning the topic copy/paste.
Background is that I teach my blind brother to to use command
line tools with brltty.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">One task
is writing emails with 'alpine' and there a sound editor comes
into play. 'Alpine' supports lots of console editors and I
tried "micro" and 'jed' for starters.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">My
brother lives quite a distance from me so our teaching
sessions are done utilizing 'tmux' duplexed 'ssh' sessions. We
utilize 'tmux' so that I can see what he types in the console
and vice versa. <br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Copy/paste
is usually done be setting markers for the begin and end of a
region of the console to be copied. This can be done utilizing
brltty directly or the functionality of the editor.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Utilizing
brltty has the charm that the routing keys can be used to set
the markers with ease. But these brltty markers are not
reflected into the console and I do not see what my brother
marked has marked.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Utilizing
the </font></font><font size="4"><font face="Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif"> functionality of the editor has the charm
that I can easily see the </font></font>regions marked, but
the editor marks (Highlighting) are not reflected into brltty and
my brother cannot detect the marked region.</p>
<p>So nether of these two approaches is satisfying. <br>
</p>
<p>Since the later problem is a general obstacle for brltty console
programm users I am sure that there must be a solution e.g. config
option to deal with that.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Any help appreciated.</p>
<p><br>

<p>Cheers,<br>
