Yes, it would. The difficulty is that integration with a screen reader, e.g.
brltty, isn't ultimately very useful if there isn't any way to navigate the
braille display around the screen. Usually, of course, those are on the braille
device itself. If you were using Linux then there are tables that bind
navigation actions to the computer's keyboard. Unfortunatey, we haven't gotten
around to implementing that kind of support on Windows. While it can be, and
should be, done, it hasn't been high enough on the priority list so far.
