You can browse through a list of all the commands supported by your device by 
going to brltty's Help Screen. This, of course, raises the next obvious 
question, i.e. which command takes you to brltty's Help Screen. The general 
answer to that is that the commands supported by all the various braille 
devices are also documented online at brltty's web site.

   Go to brltty's web site: http://mielke.cc/brltty/
   Select: Documentation
   Select: Drivers (this may get renamed to Key Tables at some point)
   Find the Voyager section.
   Select: All Models

To get you started, though, here are the two commands for the Voyager:

   Thumb2+Dot1+Dot2+Dot5: switch to/from the Help Screen
   Thumb2+Dot1+Dot3+Dot4: switch to/from the preferences menu

When in the preferences menu: Use Left/Right to scroll through the items. Use 
Up/Down to change the value of an item. Press Left+Right to exit the menu.
