I read this as if the -show-cursor option should be enabled with lynx or 
pine.

Actually, braille software for Windows uses the routing keys to simulate a
mouse click with the mouse pointer at the corresponding location.  Within
text editors this had the traditional effect of bringing the cursor to the
desired location, or with menus this will activate the menu item.  The later
can't be done the same way with text based applications on Linux.
