Brltty has a feature that underlines (dots 7 and 8) what's highlighted. You can configure it within the Text Indicators submenu of brltty's Preferences Menu. My settings for this, for example, look like this:
Show Attributes: Yes
Blinking Attributes: Yes
Attributes Blink Period: 0.8 (seconds)
Attributes Percent Visible: 25 (%)</pre>

<p>I created a /etc/brltty-hw.prefs file with content:</p>
<p>Show Attributes: Yes<br>
Blinking Attributes: Yes<br>
Attributes Blink Period: 0.8<br>
Attributes Percent Visible: 25<br>
</p>
<p>This file is found by brltty, but the syntax seems not to work.
Here comes the debug log:<br>

<p>Is it not possible to do the settings you mentioned via the
config prefs file?</p>
