>That seems strange since the Edge arrow keys are responsive under other 
>systems like VOiceOver and JAWS. 

They're equally responsive under Linux using brltty. They're doing exactly what 
they're supposed to be doing - navigating the braille display around the 
screen.

You're making an assumption that they should be behaving like arrow keys, but 
that's wrong. They aren't arrow keys, even on all of the other platforms. 
They're navigation keys. They're job is to move the braille display around the 
screen without dragging the cursor.

>So the edge must be sending out characters. 

Not at all. It sends packets that indicate which of its keys are currently 
pressed. Your program isn't working the way you'd like it to becuase you're 
insisting on making an assumption that simply isn't true.
