Switching cursor attribute routing profiles, language (spoken as well as
braille), speed, pitch, cutting&asting between text consoles and
programs, speaking only parts of the screen, things like that. Sorry if
I missed brltty getting braille-device independent features for
keyboard-only navigation, also possibly using multiple USB keyboards,
despite being on this list for a while.  It's a long time since I tried
keyboard-only navigation in brltty.

Same for SBL. I was not discussing brltty, just trying to help
concerning the live CD. SBL has been inspired a lot by brltty, of
course.
