Dave: Yes, it was the second patch that worked; I didn't actually run with the first one. Using BRLTTY 3.10 release.
>How awkward would that be (particularly pressing both together for space) on >the 24? I think it would be awkward, but people would probably get used to it. Along a similar line, I am not getting any codes for F1 through F4, and these keys exist on the Connect 12 and the Connect 24. I wonder if strategic use of these keys could help. Or, perhaps other Baum displays don't provide these keys and that is why they are not supported in BRLTTY?

I get expected dot arguments (0x40 for dot 7, 0x80 for dot >8) when I press the previously unrecognized keys. Just to confirm ... it's the second patch that works?

As you probably remember, the >Connect 12 has a key between dots 1 and 4 at the top of the face which I >believe you are using for space. There is no such key (called B11) on the >Connect 24. So, if we support dots 7-8 on the Connect 24, how can we >distinguish between these dots and a space? We could take a different approach with the 12, i.e. to use B9-B0 as modifiers, e.g. shift and control, rather than as dots 7-8. Then, pressing both of them together could be space. How awkward would that be (particularly pressing both together for space) on the 24? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
