Not quite. The keyboard functions are mapped within the kernel and user space
never sees them. Brltty uses a user-level kernel API which, ultimately, invokes
the very same functions.
>A log will follow "short Lee."
I never shoot those who send logs. I look at the logs, even if I have
preconceptions regarding what I expect. I'm always prepared for the unexpected.
