One profile per program? I doubt that works all the time because one program 
can run another one, e.g. screen or telnet.

So let's design what brltty should support. Should we go the sbl route and have 
program profiles and attempt to figure out which program is currently running? 
Another possibility is to have a routing key based command which instructs 
brltty to use the attributes of the selected character when searching for an 
attribute cursor. Are there any other alternatives to consider?
