[BRLTTY] Possible OT: BRLTTY and Orca

[Vincent LE GOFF]

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.  I investigated some more, although I couldn't 
find how to turn logging in Orca.  I tried to see the key bindings that 
existed and I saw them in the Orca preferences.  Pan to the right and 
pan to the left with the Braille display (along with using the routing 
keys) would be more than enough as far as I'm concerned, but nothing 
works as is.  The key bindings are defined, though.  I tried to reassign 
them, but when I press a key on my Braille display, it is not 
interpreted at all as a new binding.

On the other hand, I can use the FN+H to go into the BRLTTY help menu, 
edit the preferences with FN+P and so on.  I really wonder whether it's 
a BRLTTY issue or an orca one.  Even though I don't really see why it 
would be a lack of information on the part of BRLTTY.
