Do you remember what went wrong the first time? If it was that the new key
bindings didn't work then it's probably that the updated table was installed
after the braille driver started.

I heard the expected sounds, when I pressed 2,5,7,8,space, however keys like
h didn't work. I'll try again when I reboot my phone.

Are you saying that it stays on the title, or that it's initially there. I
have a test page where navigating by heading does work, although when
initially going to that page it does initially go to the title.

No, it stays at the title. If I start reading from there, I am some lines
above the location of the actual heading. However, when I swipe right on the
phone after I press h, both TalkBack and brltty move correctly to the next
line. I'll play around some more and will be using other structural elements
as well.

the border.

Are you referring to when using structural navigation or when navigating
with regular brltty commands?

Both. I thought I could scroll using space+routing 5, however that does
something completely different,  can't remember what. So for now I use
TalkBack's scrolling functions to navigate to the next screen.

With kind regards,

Henk.
