[BRLTTY] Modify braille representation for the tabulation character

[Kristof Nijs]

Hi Dave,

I use brltty 5.3.1.

In the /etc/brltty/control-latin.tti file I find the following line:

char \x09	(        )  # 09 ⣊   [CHARACTER TABULATION]

I supposed that this whould make a tab look like a normal space with
no braille dots, which I also prefer. But a tab is shown on my braille
device with the dots 2, 4, 7 and 8.

Is it possible to modify the tab character so that it shows no dots on
my braille device?
Am I looking in the right place or is there something else I need to
do to accomplish this?

Greets,
Kristof
