I think this one is for Samuel..
I've not found any BRLTTY package for Windows where cut and paste works
perfectly. The problem is that some characters sometimes is missing when
pasting from BRLTTY.
To reproduce, do the following:
- Install the latest BRLTTY package for cygwin.
- Start cmd
- Start cygwin, and then brltty.
- Exit cygwin, you now have a Dos prompt on the braille display.
- Write an email address on the command line, and cut it into the BRLTTY
buffer.
- Delete it again, and paste from BRLTTY. No, all characters are shown,
also the att sign.
- Start cygwin by giving the following commands:
* set CYGWIN=tty glob notitle
* set LANG=C.ISO-8859-1
* c:
* chdir c:\cygwin\bin
* bash --login -i
- If you now try to paste the BRLTTY buffer, you'll see that the att
sign is simply missing, and you should hear an error tone from
Windows.
Maybe the problem has to do with some terminal settings? Are you able to
reproduce this?
Thanks in advance,
Lars
