[BRLTTY] Unconventional key bindings was Re: Many problems and questions on brltty for android

[erik burggraaf]

True, I realize this after playing with it, and I'm happy enough to help where I can.  But the version number and the help documentation definitely lead me to expect that which was not in fact the case.

If we need proper documentation for android features, I'll be happy to help out.

Best,
